The shipping was high. It was $21 total, probably $8 too much. But after looking at a lot of whacked blades I settled. The blade looks straight so I don't expect to struggle too much honing it. and the scales are not interesting at all so I don't have to stress over them as I potentially mess up the razor.
That's how I rationalized it anyway.
how'd I do in reality?

Hard to tell what kind of shape it's in from the pics. If it's in decent shape it should make a good shaver, american blades are usually very good quality and made from very nice steel.
You got ripped on the shipping, it only costs about $1 to ship a razor, figure maybe $0.5 more for the packaging. $9 is waaaaaay too much.
I know, I merely looked at it as $21 and sparing me $5 worth of time. Add a little impulse and it was SOLD.
Yeah, it will go fairly high and I'm sure it already generated SRP interest for sniping. I personally am done shopping for razors with 2 exceptions and this ain't one of them.
As for the blackened tip W&B it looks like bad photography. However let me STRONGLY recommend not posting the auctions you are interested in, in a public forum. Just PM someone you trust for an opinion.
I know. I'm not seriously interested. I might bid, doubt it.
