    I have a few, but this is probably the rarest. As is the brush.

    RobinK is that GoldEdge rare because of its size?

    Can’t really say how “rare” it is, but I don’t think there are that many around...
    Zowada Carbon Series. One of my favorites.

    I have no idea whether or not it's rare. I've just never heard of another mentioned in my time here.

    Here's a couple of quick pics of my Henckels Friodur Shoulderless 72-V.

    It's a 1/4 grind.

    I think you are referring to the one Phrank posted and I like it's more rare because it's the grim reaper version.

    Aloha!

    I have no earthly idea. I'm not a "collector" per se. I love straight razors for what they are. If I happen to have something valuable or rare, then good on me. If not, no worries.

    My most commonly valuable would be my Wade and Butcher FBU, but that's probably not my "rarest" by any stretch. I'd have to post my entire collection here and someone that knows the value of all razors would have to chime in and say, "WOW! you have an XYZ from ABC! That's amazing!"
    But most likely my collection is more common than that. But I love it just the same.

    Mahalo!

    -Zip

    But Zip! Rare does not always equate to valuable! Just seldom-seen!
