Any rust collector would be proud to have this in his collection.
A great example of advanced celluloid rot and the results of a blade left in the scales.

that's the worst razor i ever seen.
Hahaha nice
It's got a nice well broken in patina.
Beautiful piece... Can't wait for the 'it won't get sharp' thread!
Is that a Titanic relic?
Would it be possible to show the other side of the blade?
The item description says "used". How can they tell?
"Pop" one pin!! slide in a new"ish" blade and wamm!!!! I'd be a happy boy :y

But after a couple years you are going to have to replace that blade as well. Those scales are eating steel.Quote:

Maybe they should try sharpening the spine instead of the blade? :D
I knew this would show up here. Looks like it's made of lace.
I had this result using a cinder block for a bevel setter.

Straight Razor Honing on a Brick (This is a joke) - YouTube
L@@K no hone wear.
I would do that do a straight razor but i woul consider using a brick to the nicks out
of a knife that are bad enough to measure with a ruler.
But good thing they state in tiltle it's a joke. cause chucks of glass
in the bricks would also nick the edge.
I have one of those free hone certificates from purchasing a Dovo from SRD. Can I use it for this razor if I win it?
I think that'll buff out.
Here's another ebay beauty
