Did one of you guys get this?

[_MementoMori_]

I just saw it a few moments before it ended. I was wondering why an Old Spice mug was going for so much until I enlarged the pic! I didn't bid... my funds are pretty tied up right now.

Looks like someone got a nice deal depending on the condition, though.

Do people actually use vintage blades or are they for collectables?

If you did use them, and loved them, wouldn't it be annoying knowing you can't get them easily again? lol

I think some guys do use old stainless blades, at least on occasion -- old carbon blades aren't generally advisable to the modern shaver.

Wasn't me.

And I'd think the vintage blades -- at least, the pre-stainless steel ones -- wouldn't be too advisable for use at this late date. They probably go well in a collection, though.

It wasn't me but whoever it was got a deal if the toggle is in decent shape.

I've used very old vintage carbon blades. And they gave me some of the best shaves I've ever had. Personally, I wouldn't be shy about trying a vintage blade if one came my way. If the blade was dull, I would simply stop shaving with it. I would sterilize it before use though.

Is that razor what I think it is???

I was bidding on it but forgot to snipe at the end.

Whoever won it got a nice deal on a good looking toggle

Yeah, those Old Hickory blades are damned hard to find . . .

Congrats on a great find!! Good example of a seller not knowing what they've got, and a lesson to all of us to search some of the "lesser used" categories when looking for collectible razors!!

What shape is the toggle in?
