I really do love vintage razors, I don't own a single new one... but I will also testify to the fact that, particularly the last 8 months or so, the vintage market has become a den of thieves and brigands compared to the safe market it used to be-- particularly on eBay.

FYI, I got that razor in the mail TODAY (monday march 21) and, lucky me, the razor did not make a liar out of me (i shaved with it right out of the box, kept my stubble for 3 days so I could try it out right)
...when I posted that post, I was confident that it would be what it said it was, as the seller seemed like an honest dealer. I had not gotten the razor as yet, but incriminated myself for the sake of argument

and yes, ebay is a sniper's kill zone on the vintage market. I had my eye on a beautiful new old stock Louis Grah Solingen that I had my snipe softwear set for $100....someone had their snipewear set at $110 and won it Funny thing is the price was $81 until the last second when the softwear kicked in....lol somebody watching that auction would have no clue what happened
