    They are very nice, to say the least, and unusual. I think I vaguely recall seeing similar scales, maybe in a book on razors ........ dunno, but a real treat those are.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I have a feeling those may be very high quality pieces if I read the marking correctly Cardeilhac - Decorative Artists - Artist Biographies - Macklowe Gallery .

    Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

    Rumor has it he was standing in dog poop when he paid. Other than that it was one lucky day in someone else's yard :<0)

    So nice they should be kept in a hermetically sealed case in a safe with a guard standing by it.

    I would not mind if a decent wet shaver used them that being said. I tend to think that "popular art" objects should be used

    Amazing looking razors for sure, what a lucky score! Someone has fished out all my usual spots. Oh wait, that was me.
