    Default Ebay Score?

    Just one this on the bay and got notice it shipped today (FAST!). Can anyone tell by the pics the scale material and if they look savable? I know W&B is a good shaver but does it look like I did ok at under $35.00?

    I wouldn't worry about cell rot as those appear to be horn scales to me. Cell rot is the natural breakdown of gasses in celluloid material. It can rust a blade quickly and severely.

    Gotcha, Thank you. As best as I can tell, it looks like the scales are in decent shape, would you agree?

    A little cleaning and polishing and those scales should shine up nice. By the way, great score on the W&B Celebrated. Mine is one of my best shavers.
