Castagnon straight, 6/8"
Probably a Filarmonica but as I have long left this part of wet shaving (i.e. straight razors), I am not sure - others may be better informed. Please feel free to chime in and provide more details if you do know.
Must be 6/8", with scales, blade, spine + tang in great shape. Not sure if I purchased it NOS and also not sure if it is shave ready, however please note all the blades I have sold so far in UK forums have received highly positive feedback on their sharpness...
U.S. $190 (North America), £150 (UK/EU).
Prices include shipping with tracking as well as PayPal fees.
I ship from Athens, Greece.
All my straights have been stored in humidity-absorbing paper, blades had Ballistol in it, and all articles were positioned in a plastic container full of desiccant bags. I stand to be corrected if the asking price or description are in any way not rightful or accurate. The above article is part of my straights collection. The substantial majority of the blades I possess were originally purchased from other fellow members in SRP or other forums. Glad to provide more pictures or article particulars at request. Plenty of references in wet shaving forums since December 2009, buy with confidence.
Thanks for looking.

I suspect your razor will not last much longer on B/S/T now! Heckuva deal on what looks to be a sweet shaver.

Thank you Mark.
Clarification on what appears to be a crack in the scales near the end pin:
Nothing is felt on the outside, even if you put your finger over what appear to be cracks on either sides of the pin.
This is why I did not mention anything about cracks.
There is of course a suspicion of an internal crack, on both sides, from the pin to the end of the scales.
But this may be internal only, if there is ever a crack.
Also, on the underside of the scales (internal side) no crack, at least surface crack, seems to be present.
I tried to take additional photos as clearly as I could.
To my limited experience, scales at this point are sound, at least externally from both sides (all 4 sides in that specific end).
Full set of pictures here.
Thank you all.Last edited by NavalArchitect; 02-24-2019 at 12:21 AM. Reason: Word/description correction.
