Best one I have seen in a while. Like the fact it has some documentation too.
Mine is not that nice maybe I can shoot for $500.00. 
I watched that thing the whole way. What a beautiful razor

Thank you. I waited until 8 seconds left to place my bid. Luckily it held.
Glenn, is that one plate a shim of some sort? The plate with the 3 ribs on it, I mean.

I am not sure. The owner called it a "Metal Protector"???? Maybe someone else knows for sure.
I guess it has more than 3 ribs, Hahaha. I don't know if I've seen that before. It's definitely intriguing.

Very complete set I'm thinking. The leather on the case seems to be in very good condition too (at least compared to a lot of others I have seen).

Here is the similar one from Mr Razor's site. No "metal protector"
though.
Wow....just WOW!!

Thanks. Here's hoping in 5 years, I can say what a bargain it was way back in 2017!

The eBay seller says he has been collecting for 30 years and it was the best item in his collection. I emailed him about the "metal protector" too. Will be interesting what he has to say.
I will wait with baited breath, so to speak.

Ha ha! He just got back to me. He believes it was similar to the cardboard protectors used later on. It was meant to hold the place of a razor blade when the razor was initially shipped. I'm thinking to keep from over tightening the lock mechanism when no blade was present?? He has not seen them on other double rings so it is probably rare for them to have survived.
Ok! I guess that makes sense. Thanks. Enjoy it and I'm sure you'll post more pics when it arrives.
