FSOT Chrome (Nickel) Toggle looking for BBS-1 or unobtainium

Greetings B&B,

I have a Chrome (Nickel) Toggle that is unobtainium and have always been curious to try a BBS-1, which is also unobtainium. The Toggle is functional and condition shown in the photos, the latch isn't as smooth as my other Toggle and is a bit clunky but still functional. There is wear through the plating on the blade tray (shown in photo). For trading sake, let's say the value of this razor is $2,000.

Let me know if you have a BBS-1 you'd like to work out a deal for (may require cash either way), or if you have other unobtainium razors for trade. Recognizing that those with BBS-1 razors may not be ones collecting Gillette razors.

Also, let me know if you have a BBS-1 you'd prefer to sell (but would have to pend sale of this).

Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or more photos.

That is rare indeed! Good luck with your search.

i apologize if this is not the place to discuss this. Why is this razor rare? Beyond being a toggle?

No worries. It was only made for a short period and only Toggle that was nickel plated. Limited production and fewer of them today.
