Acceptable price for a Gillette Slim Adjustable

[Bellac]

What is a decent price range for a Gillette Slim Adjustable? Specifically, I paid $25 for this one right here:

Spoiler

My knowledge is relatively limited, as this is my first time buying a vintage razor. What do you guys think?

I'm no expert, but that seems to be about an average price. I think I paid that or maybe a little more for mine.

I recently paid $25 for my birth quarter Slim.

Between $20 and $25 is a good price to pay. I bought my first slim adjustable for $13 on E-bay several weeks ago, but I was a bit lucky (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...han-40-years?p=4215413&highlight=#post4215413 ). The E-bay photos were a bit fuzzy and the accompanying description had very little detail. It turned out to be a good razor with no defects. It's a great razor. Good luck with it.

I paid £35 for a replated slime a few years back befor I joined or even knew about B&B

+1 on comments above. Depending on condition $10-40 is average especially if it's cased and is in immaculate condition.

I gave 20 for a 2 razor lot that had one in it and 25 for one by itself. I just sold one for 15. Neither of my 2 looked as good as yours.

I think I paid 25 for mine too.

I paid 21-something for mine off eBay, plus 5 bucks shipping.

I'd be willing to pay a bit more than that for a birth year.

u did good. that's about right. seems like the prices have risen recently on both fatboys and slim's.

A fair price. I just sold one on the bay for $40 a month or two ago. I would say $25 to $30 is a decent price if it is in good shape. They seldom go for less than that these days.

 

[JaggerDragger]

I think that is a good price for a slim

 

[BowTieGuy]

Great price for a machine that will last your lifetime and beyond.

My slim cost me my Grandfather. He passed in 1972 and I got his 1962 Slim. I shaved with it for the first time yesterday. That would be the first time in 40 years that razor has been used and it's only been used by 2 people. Me and my Grandfather.

They're going for $25 on eBay without a case. Once you get one, it'll be priceless to you from that point forward.

I paid 20 for a user grade, 70 for a rhodiium replate, and 100 for a mint guld Aristocrat.

I just paid $35 (shipping included) for a very clean birth quarter Slim (K-2). I don't know ANYTHING about vintage double edges, but I bought it from a B&B member and I think it was fair.

Paid $32 for a '65 slim but it's in REALLY good condition. I think I got a great deal. $25 looks like a good deal for you too.

 

[Illadelphia]

I've learned you'll always get better deals and more honesty from the guys here opposed to eBay, etsy, etc...

I have 10 Slims and if you find one in very good condition for under $30, let me know.
