I have one of those and it's a very good shaver. I do question the wisdom of tipping off hundreds of other potential bidders to an item they otherwise might have overlooked on that online auction. Unless, of course, you are the seller

Looks good but remember that although unused it may still require honing, also be aware that if worth more than £15 imports into the UK from non EU countries are liable for a VAT and the couriers handling fee for collecting the VAT, Royal Mail charges £8 IIRC.
Of course a lot comes in without any charge being made but if you are unlucky then so at £25 it could cost you an additional £13 for VAT and handling plus honing.
If its your 1st or 2nd razor I would be inclined to get something from the strop shop or the invisible edge at least that way you'll know they are sharp and there will be some customer support if you need it.

Nice spine work on that razor, and it seems they shave well too! Thanks for pointing it out, I would have missed it.

Hahaha no, polite would have been something along the lines of: "Hey ECD, I'm going to buy this razor to sharpen it for you and then you can just pay me the cost of razor/shipping. This way you'll save from the extra fees and taxes. By the way, you have a keen eye for good razors and you are probably a very nice person for being so trusting."
