Any smaller it would qualify for a long toothpick

I sent the seller a message that at least HALF of the blade was missing, and that describing it as "near mint" was wrong, since it was in "poor" condition. No reply or response at this time.

RT

I also sent a msg basically saying that errors have been made in the item descriptions, outlining the errors and mentioning that having such a misleading description undermines buyer confidence and hurts the biz.

Honed w/ a belt grinder??

And, so...

Did any of you think to send her here:

Wow. Well, the original owner sure got his money's worth on that razor. Sheesh!

Still stumping Bill? Aren't you in the Top 100 yet?

OK, just how small were razors manufactured? The pictured razor still appears to have some of the hollow-grind left, so it could not have been too wide to begin with.

However, since the base-edge of the razor now extends past the sharpened part of the blade it must have been tricky to shave with in it's present condition. Maybe if it just changes a tiny bit each time you sharpen it your technique gradually adjusts to an unusual shape.

I wonder what stories this one has.

It would make a great pipe cleaner.

well i must say that me selling a razor here and there , I dont think there is any like that in my collection...i will say that the bevel on that is quite even and with such little hone wear, im surorised bidders arent falling over one another to get to it...obviously I have alot to learn..

cheers for the giggles, simon
