I actually first saw it on an episode of the "Waltons". I guess that STILL makes me old, eh?

Nah, it's part of an internet meme now

There's even a game: Oh, the Huge Manatee! - a free online game at DIGYOUROWNGRAVE

Kinda makes me want a blimp razor now

Or be a young guy (young relative to Jimmy, anyway... ) that saw a blimp razor on the internet, Googled "Hindenburg" to learn more, and came across the audio.

Yeah! That's it! That's the ticket! After all, I am only 25!

I saw that yesterday and wondered how soon it would be on a site. The blade didn't seem to be in mint condition.

Well this kind of thing is usually mostly about the scales, not the blade. Mostly.

People who buy razors to use (like most of us) do appreciate a nice rare scale, but we are more pragmatic than a scale collector. If we are going to pay 3.5K for a razor, we want it to be like shaving with God's stanley knife so we mainly worry about the kind of steel, it's condition, and so on. Based on that criteria you'd be pushing it to get 2%, or perhaps 3% if you were lucky, of that asking price IMHO.

But that is not what this razor is about. As Lynn said, the seller generally knows his stuff - you'll never get a bargain off him, but neither will you get ripped off. He is usually on the money, as it were, at least in my experience.
