I'm not sure but... I think the one you have is the one that got away some time ago. It's just frustrating to lose two in such a short period of time as they don't show up that often.

I did and there are some real doosies in the bunch. The FBU is going to take some work but it should turn out to be a nice 7/8 instead of the 8/8 it started life as. I will get some pics up ASAP.

I am glad to be back, I have missed the asylum. I didn't find any solace in any of the other forums out there.

Cool, can't wait to see them. That FBU was in sad shape but it can be brought back to life.

You got that lot eh? Some really great blades for an awesome price...was going to go for it, but...sheesh....was time for me to back away from the darn Bid Now button....

Yes, the GB I have came with the original box and leather case...is that the one?...it was a BIN? Couldn't believe it....in a year have never seen one except pics here...for the 50th or so time, typed it in for a search and bam!

I believe that is the one, I have had them in my watch list for a long time. The second one was also a BIN and I knew that I should have jumped on faith but the seller only posted two pics and nether was conclusive as to the razors identity, as soon as he posted the new pics I had asked for it was gone.

The original auction pics from the GB razor are at the start of this thread....is that the one you were looking at?
