As if anyone looked at it and thought, "I would buy it, but I'm not sure if it will smell like smoke..."Quote:

Well, I guess the seller is smarter than I, as someone actually bought this razor. They paid $3.99 for the razor and $5.99 for shipping. More proof that P.T. Barnum was right. Maybe they just bought it in the hope that they could save the scales?

I was shocked that no one else saw any potential in it.Quote:

I guess I'll have to take pictures along the way on restoring this one!
Anyone want to make a wager as to whether or not I'm a sucker? Um, I mean whether or not I can make it a shaver?
If you make it a shaver and inscribe it "The Rare And Celebrated Snaggletooth Razor" I'll buy it from you.
i see you finally found a matching company for king tut's razorQuote:
