A mint sticky came wandering by

[marcel]

Browsing around my local auction site I stumbled upon this picture:

The Wilkinson box immediately caught my and I mailed the seller and made him an offer. He wanted 5 euro more and I agreed wilingly .
Low and behold what arrived:

Absolute mint, boxed with all papers Wilkinson Sword Sticky. I'm as happy as can be!

Great score, Marcel! Absolutely gorgeous razor.

 

[Haggises]

Nice!

how much for those Gillette injector blades??

 

[onotoman]

Great score - but I bet you won't want to shave with it, being in such good order?

There looks to be some other good stuff there too.

 

[marcel]

I only bought the Wilkinson, the rest is still for sale as far as I know.

I'm not sure yet as it looks (and is) so pristine.
If I didn't already blow my budget I would've gotten more I suppose.

I see a gold Milord in a blue case? A hydro-magic to the left, a single ring, possibly a SS with the head facing us on top of the Palmolive soap. Being your near Europe that might be a rocket or Parrat. A few things if reasonable I would have bought.
Congrats on the score!

This goes against most B&B rules you realize.

You are supposed to buy it ALL!!!

I have been after these for a while now but some owners were asking $150.00 plus for tye Razor Alone and nothing esle included, found one for a Little over $100.00 including shipping ) I am glad i held off.

 

[marcel]

This one's got all options included! Outer shipper box, instructions, case and original blades, all 5 of 'em.

Why the heck are they called Sticky's anyway. Doesn't seem like the name of a razor I want to use.

 

[marcel]

It's nicknamed after the sticky feeling of the handle when it gets wet. The official name is on the box: the Wilkinson Sword razor. Simple as that ;-)

Instead of "slippery when wet" some how they made it go the other way.
My guess is they played the music backwards at the factory when mixing the handle coating.

To the OP, Congrats on a great score!!

A great find. I too would have bought everything I think (even if it meant a trip to a cashpoint)!

Excellent find and enjoy the razor!!
