For the love of God, it comes in a shoebox.
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

I'd tend to agree with Max's theory. And I bet you whoever won it will not be getting it.

I didn't get that one but lightning does sometimes strike twice ..... i did get this one on an originally listed 'buy it now' and it cost me a whopping $50 bucks. The seller turned out to live 20 minutes away, I didn't know him, and we met at a Dunkin Donuts halfway between where he lived and my place. I paid cash and collected the razor with no shipping charge. A 10/8 Joseph Rodgers & Sons in the box that belonged to his grandfather. It had a chip and I had quite a bit of honing to do. Lost a bit of the edge and it ended being 1/16 shy of the original 10/8, but for fifty bucks and a few hours work I'm happy.

Some of the best things in life are free. Or darn near it .
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Jimmy, when did this happen? Recently or several years ago before the vintage razors started to spike in price.

It was almost 5 years ago Max. A few years ago I picked up a very nice W&B Celebrated FBU 9/8 when a seller on the bay listed it for $15.00. I just happened to log on when it first came up. I don't remember the guy's screen name but a few years ago a member of SRP did the same thing with a blue/green escher complete with slurry stone in the original paper box for $40.00. Just a matter for being in the right place at the right time. Originally Posted by Maximilian
