That's crazy! I can imagine your happiness! It's funny how that works too. There's a few times I've not bid on something, just because I was certain it would go too high. Then come back later and find that I probably could have won if I had bid. It's just your lucky day it seems! Well done!

Let us know how it hones and shaves...
I very much like the shape and grind of it.

Looks like a good pick up. I think that the seller making some pretty significant revisions to the auction listing probably put a few people off.

I'd imagin also from the pics that many high bidders may have been put off by what seems to be alot of material off the edge, given how the tip looks. From what I have seen in other razors of that shape style I would have jumped on it as well as it is in very nice looking condition and has MANY years of life left in it.

Yep... I was bidding on it too. My computer screwed up and didn't update after your last bid. :boohoo: When it did update, it was gone. It is a mean looking blade though. :beer1:
