Thread: The reason I’ve been selling razors lately.

AH! so there were 3 and one got lost.

Could be much worse, I suppose. It should show. No one could sell it.....
Unless it goes into one of the unseen collections?

Exactly.

I'll post about the third razor later. It's got the larger story attached, and I need to secure some supporting evidence.

It's also the older one. 1815.

This has developed into an intriguing tragedy, such a terrible thing, and now this third razor business...
Not too make light of it, but with the accounts of history you dig up that are always excellent reads, and here you speak of another with more history involved..
It reminds me of a curious mystery in a Sherlock Holmes story.
Very curious indeed Watson!

Neil Miller had taken to calling me Mycroft -- Sherlock's smarter, much lazier brother.

It's a charge I find difficult to deny, mostly because of the high praise wrapped in an accurate character assessment.

Either way, Lovely to see! Reckon Neil would see it the same way.

That's how I'm choosing to look at it... Also, it'll be awful nice to shave with, I suspect.

Plus a member has contacted me privately saying they'll put word out in the Chapel Hill / Raleigh area to keep an eye out for its mate.

So while losing one was definitely a bad outcome, we're nowhere near the worst (a box of shattered razor parts).

OMG!!! That is horrible. I would be pissed and i am sure you are. Worst part about loosing that is it is so rare.

Here are a couple of pics of recent USPS handiwork...it's often their mechanical handling equipment that does this but still....

Fortunately my purchase wasn't lost or damaged, but pictures are always worth a 1,000 words for claims. Zak, with auction houses I've often received a rebate or etc. on fees when their poor packing was at play as well.

In general, insurance is an inexpensive investment for expensive items that are shipped by all the major players in that industry...stuff can happen.

Oh what beautiful razors. I absolutely love the skrimshaw on the back.

My heart paused in panic hearing one was lost in the mail. I felt your pain. Hopefully something comes of it for you. That truly is heart breaking tho.

This thread is maddening! I have watched packages go in circles in central/eastern North Carolina, coming so close I could have met the truck in 2 hours drive. The crushing is a whole other pet peeve....what do they do...have designated stompers?!?

The missing razor drives me crazy, especially given the uniqueness of the others. Wow/damn is all I can say.
