    Oh man, that is something. I would offer him a 20 for it, and shorten it, but I don't think he would accept my offer.

    I see it so often where people "see auctions that have gone for xx amount", where either they're blatantly making it up or they don't know how to compare their razor to the ones that sold for that much. Also posting claims without sources cited is irritating.

    And yeah, $200 is a "fraction of the price" of $500, but still a relatively large one at 0.4. I might offer ten bucks.

    You guys are missing the point. It's all about the box - there's four (4!!) whole pictures of the box. It is an awesome box!! Never before have I seen such a box. Man, I wish I had that box.

    You got me.

    But what none of you know is that razor was used by Josef Stalin and he wasn't so hot at straight shaving and the daily experience was why he was driven crazy and killed all those folks.
