I just purchased one of these for a pretty penny...but it has blue translucent scales which I am in love with and it is NOS...so it appears to be in fantastic condition from the pictures I have seen. I keep hearing a LOT of hype about these razors and am curious what the "why" behind this epic mythology happens to be? I am sure its a great shaver...but they command a hefty price given their availability relative to some others out there (they are fairly easy to come by).

This will be my 6th in the collection in as many months now, and I love all of my razors currently. I have a couple of go-to razors and I am sure this will be among them. I am not concerned with the price paid as I know I can get it back (most if not all of it) should I decide to sell.
