A couple of nights ago, after an exceptionally rough day at work, and an elevated blood-alcohol content, I found myself checking one of my online "honey holes". A razor was going to end while I was at work the next day, and it was still barely more than the opening bid. So I did the online auction version of an "impulse buy", and put in a low-ball bid of a couple bucks more than the current bid. :beer2:
To be filed under "my bid was lower than the shipping & handling charges from a few states away"...

I was worried about the size, but the hone wear is minimal. I guess it was a modest size from the start.

This is probably the only reason I considered bidding at all...

It comes with the original box, complete with handwritten date of grinding!!! That's as close as you'll ever get to a birthday for any vintage razor, IMO! None of my Genco's will have such an honor ";".
