Ill post some pics in a couple of minutes.

I am watching this right now. But it ends in less than 30 minutes.

Remember, in most cases for these types of items, the auction sometimes doesn't really begin and end till the last 5 seconds....

What would be a good price? Less than $30? or are we looking more like $50? also is that a good model?

Also, to answer your can I find something cheap local question. Sally's beauty supply and similar usually have inexpensive Chinese TTO razors $6 - $10. My local Sally's also carries persona and wilkinson blades and Pinaud Clubman (talk about nostalgia) after shave.
If you buy a used DE at an antique store. The chrome plated razors clean up easy with toothpaste and a brush to remove soap scum and the remnants of rusty blades - chrome don't rust. The old brass ones take a bit more work.
You can disinfect them with Barbersol, Clippercide, Alcohol or other means. I soak my own razors in Listerine on occassion to keep them sanitary.

I don't think anyone will tell you what they are worth on the forum. It violates the rules.
I'll PM you to discuss.

Did you snag the 57 Superspeed for $18?
