That's a nice 60$ box and possibly an inlay that could be salvaged!

No one paid $60 for that, it's 'magically' relisted. I wonder how flea-bay polices shill bidders???

This is the second time it's been 'sold'!

That's a relief. I thought some poor bastard was going to store it with his other razors.

The first time it was posted I bid on it about $10, hopping to get lucky, then bids started to pour I bid all the way to $20. Get that I realized wtf I just bid $20 for this, another guy out bid me but then I got all the way to $60. My guess it's that the seller is inflating its price with a second account because, who will risk more than $10 for that razor?

It still pains me to look at it, how could someone let this happen! I think there should be international laws made against the mistreatment and or negligence towards straight razors

Yes hopefully if my dedication is enough to gain some skills too

I just realized the seller for this item is down the street from my house. They are one of those places that lets people bring in their stuff and they sell them. They recently sold several straight razors and probably don't understand why this one won't get the same prices. I guarantee they don't understand "cell rot." If anybody thinks they could fix this thing up, I would be happy to go look at it and give them a better description though... The scales need removed obviously! I certainly wouldn't pay more than its current value for the steel, but that is just me!

What is going on with these terrible-looking rescaled razors that keep getting relisted over and over? They are unbelievably ugly and way overpriced. Maybe we can get a group buy together and put these things out of their misery.

This one seems to have a pretty sad story to tell, too.





I wonder if, in great anguish, the guy tried to hone it with an angle grinder... :rofl:
