    Nice razor, ridiculous price, especially considering the lack of brand recognition. I didn't see any signs of rust in the pics though

    Default Mint!...with rust, but it's rare!

    I was looking at the pics expecting to find some fatal flaw. Nice looking blade!

    Value is for someone else to decide I enjoyed lookin at it!

    Free shipping though. That counts for something.

    Guy's,
    You're misreading the description. "Mint" isn't part of the description, it's the price!!

    All in all, that is a very fine looking razor. Not sure how he figures it to be made of swedish steel, or imported from Germany. Only marks I see indicate "Spain" which opens the door to the possibility that it is a private branded Philly.

    If I were a collector instead of a user, I would certainly give this one a second look.

    Did you return the razor? I noticed the seller has another one listed and it looks to be the exact same razor.

    He says no rust, but one pic still shows rust (looks like he has removed it in the others)
