Is this worth considering?
I know the auction has ended, but here are a few tips to look for when buying vintage razors.
First the seller says the razor was cleaned, it is not clean, so I would doubt anything the seller says, if he thinks that razor is “clean”
The razor has pitting, something is going on at the spine on the face side, probably pitting that has been cleaned up, not very well.
Those scales are notorious for cell rot, be very careful purchasing a razor with those type of scales. That it appears to be pitted and with notorious scales, 2 big red flags. Blurry photo are another red flag, now days there is not reason for blurry photos, any current phone can take excellent crystal clear photos, blurry photos say a lot about the seller.
Copy the photos to a photo editor and enlarge the photos, take a look at the edge, shave ready?
It is not an unusual or collectable razor.
When you start to build a collection have a plan, buy a brand, a style or size, and try not to buy cheap random razors. Buy quality, in the best condition you can afford. It is better to spend a few dollars more for a collectable razor, in the best condition and from a known vendor, that is truly SHAVE READY and will stand behind the razor and the edge.
There are many great razors in the BST. There are millions of razors in the wild, there is no rush or limited supply.
