Edited due to possible rule breaking. Sincerest apologies.
I don't think it is legal to post live ebay auctions, but yeah, that is a sweet razor. (#66?)

We don't currently have any rules concerning ebay auctions. As long as you're linking to something legal, you're fine.
my bad, I get confused easily apparently.

Ah yes, but if you are a constant ebay mover and shaker... Head to the Vendors Corner. :cool:

For a minute, I thought you posted a picture of the Fusion :eek: Then I saw the new link. That's a beautiful razor.

Pretty but whats the point. I mean all razors shave about the same. Certain types are more aggressive than others. So I am gonna pay $100+ dollars for eye candy. Nope not me. Good luck to who ever gets it.:D

That's nothing. If you watch the auctions regularly, you'll see old Wade & Butcher choppers going for $150 to $200 USD or more. A Gillette Aristocrat (gold) in fine condition with case and papers can go for $300 or $400. Toggles are rare and go for much coin too.
But you're right, Rick, it is a beauty!

I buy, but I don't sell. I just thought I would show this since they don't come up very often.

That's like saying all cars drive about the same. From a collectibilty standpoint, it doesn't get much better than this.

I have never seen an Aristocrat go that high. I have some very nice ones (sans paperwork) that I bought for around $40-$50. The Toggles definitely get up there, but, how often do you see a pristine #66 on the block? What's really funny is that the seller has no idea what it is (I know this from shooting him some messages).

I don't get it. That looks like an average super speed. I don't get why you would want to pay more than US $20 for it, although I could see kicking in an extra $10 for the case. Seems vastly overpriced to me.

Noob, look at a superspeed then look at that.
The SS is small lighter and duller. The Aristocrat is bigger heavier and plated in Rhodium I think, which means it keeps its shine for a long time.
The fit and finish from one to the other is completely different. Balance is different etc...

Okay. Went back and did the comparison- I can see some of the differences now, but I still don't get paying $100 bucks for a non-adjustible razor. I suppose I'm just a Philistine.

Ha, ha, ha! You wouldn't be paying a $100 for this one either. Wait until this auction hits the last 10 seconds, and then you will see the fireworks. I will be surprised if the winning bid is below $300. ;)

Very nice!
I would be curious what it ends up to be.
Lets just say the current bidder hopes that nobody else decides to bid.

Are you really the current high bidder? You know that will be short lived! :D

yes I am, and I am sure it will be, but I have to try. Like you said, these don't come around in this condition often, and the #66 is one of the most beautiful razors ever made, in my eyes. But yeah, I know that I won't be there for long.

Well, I am pulling for you, my friend. Someone who makes the beautiful brushes that you make deserves a razor like this. :D
