Maybe it's just me, but...
I imagine lots of you do searches for razors outside of eBay, and so do I. While doing this, I found this... horrorshow for sale:
1920s STRAIGHT SHAVING RAZOR SOLINGEN w/ TUSK HANDLE For Sale
Maybe it's a style of razor I don't know that it's highly prized, but to me looks like a POS. What's up with the prize?

The seller has no idea that it's only worth about six bucks. They have a catalog that says it's worth much more.
Kudos to them and their catalog... It won't sell for that.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Kind of odd looking. As for the price, you can get a new straight for less than that

HNSB,
C'mon, man... I know you wouldn't pay $6 for that!
The whole site is like that! I saw broken, rusty razors for $80... Suddenly a brand new TI for a couple of hundred seems like a bargain to me.

No,No, gentlemen the seller is right and all your razors are the POS so to help defer the cost of you buying from him I will graciously take all your collections for 6 bucks a razor....

I think I see signs of over-honing.

By "special" I assume you mean football-helmet-on-the-short-bus "Hey kid, don't eat the paste!" special?

I told him not to try honing on the bench grinder!!!
Just take off a little more!
You could always use it to shave inside your nose and ears??
It does look like he is touting it as having an ivory handle. I don't know what the price of ivory smuggling is.
