I swear

I swore I would never buy a new razor. This was an accident I swear.

Once in awhile I see a razor that catches my eye for one reason or another and just have to have it. I am from Michigan so sometimes those labels do it. Easter day I threw the big bid bomb on this one but got lucky and didn't use it all. It gets here today and wow. It cut right through arm hair with no feeling out of the box. I think it's new. Won't say NOS but darn near.

The inner label describes it well enough :<0)

Nice and charming.

Awesome blade from the Motor City, from the home of WRIF-FM, used to listen to that station when I was in the neighborhood.

Great looking razor in obviously great condition!

Nice! Well it looks like you done good.

That is absolutely gorgeous. I am always looking for Michigan related shaving gear. I don't find much so it is really cool to see it.

It cut your armhair from inside the box ?? :dropjaw: Nice find, indeed!

Love the disclaimer! Awesome looking blade, bet you're pleased with it!

I think I have 4 but I don't count because then I start thinking I need a 7 day set :<0) I don't even look for them but this one just popped in to my view somehow. Where you are I would think the estate sales would have a bunch of them. If I spot one I'll try to remember to shoot you a pm.

Siguy you made me think I had to edit. Now I think you been looking through the loupe to long :<0)

Ok I want that. Detroit Rock City. Nice Find

I had that one on my watchlist because it had a delicious SPIKE and looked pretty much NOS I agree. You snagged a nice Barber Supply era blade!

"Motor City B.S. Co."

Now that's a company name. :)

That's a fine looking razor. I'm not usually a fan of fancy or embellished scales but I have to say I kind of like the combination of the green with the bolsters on that one.

That's one nice looking razor. I'm a sucker for old school gaudy-ness when it's classy (brass, metal flake, etc). Super nice.
Yes it's new, but no need to apologize - it's still "old".

Beauteous ! From the scales and from that little band decorating the tang, I'd bet money it was made by F.W. Engles in their "Special" model format. If I'm right you can't beat them for a quality shaving razor. Good as any dubl duck, Filly or Puma IME. Congrats .

Love the scales!

"Motor City B.S. Co." <<, I got a kick out of that too :<0) I think it would be a good name for a bar.

You may be right Jimmy. It reminded me of a Spike Special too but I haven't compared anything yet. It was the green behind the bolster thing that caught my eye. I think that is part of why I am drawn to the Ducks. Mystery behind who made what and when. I haven't test drove it yet but I can tell it's going to be a winner.
