Name that razor ...

[Mark1966]

A recently ended eBay listing, showing that they are still out there -

Provided your pockets are deep enough -

That is around $A3,500 (plus postage!)

I bet the runner up thought they had it nailed!



So what is it?

So what is it?

A razor that includes someone's second-hand bumfluff by the looks of it. Pass.

Aristocrat.

Oh, would be nice if it was MY listing!

Come on - Spill the beans. What is it that makes this razor so unique.

@Mark1966 is an old fart wet shaver, because, he loves vintage history Gillette razors collection in his den…… Remember you’ve seen his collection @Errol

It is an 'Anglo-American' Aristocrat -

This latest one on eBay is about one of half a dozen known to exist.

Maybe, but likely to hold its value

That's the way I see anyone who buys any of the modern razors. And of course bragging rights for having the latest stainless or titanium doo dad, when a ten dollar Tech will shave just as well.

You can get the exact same razor without the "Made in England" for 50 to 70 bucks, it's not a razor thing, it's a collector thing.

You don't need any more vintage razors, you'll only need more urinate sticks and a cheap bottle of cat piss aftershave.

Let @Mark1966 worry about his vintage razors collection.

You are correct.

There are one or two I would like to have but the collectors have driven the prices up beyond what they are worth IMO.

I have a nice gold traveller set which I paid pretty decent money for about 10 years ago. Wonder what that is worth now?

I wouldn't sell it, prices are gonna keep going up for some time to come.
