Yep that is a 15.

Yeah that is a #15, Glenn.

 

[GlennConti]

Thanks for the help gents.

I thought this was really neat. A bit out of my range at $273 USD. Apollo Micron only one that I have ever seen.

Ted that's a cool one. Looks well made and it's an adjustable too. I like!

 

[GlennConti]

Well this is a little different. I saw this blade sampler pack and it looked pretty cool, versatile and cheap(ish) so I thought I would plug it. (I am in no way associated with the seller). Good for newbies or pros that haven't found a good cheap blade yet. A little over $15 for 28 different blades.

Nice razor and his Gibbs Adjustable is pretty cool too!

I can't remember a time when this old friend was not for sale. The seller just keeps re-listing it over and over and over again.

If he drops the price by 90%, he might find a buyer.
He listed it 3 times in the month of June alone. Although I think he might have given up.

Have you ever been tempted to get one of those Kriss Kross blade stroppers? I always resist the urge and they can usually be had for cheap. Well here's one someone couldn't pass up; I guess because it is in mint condition. About $75. Looks like the seller has more left.

Have you seen how CFM gets over $250 for a complete Gillette Red Tip set? Here's one.

Well I just got what appears to be a pretty close facsimile for about $55. And, it just so happens I have the correct sealed blades/instructions for a Super Speed razor already in my hand. If the razor is in good condition when I get it this might be a good flip candidate. Wish me luck.

Are you ready for the shavepocalypse? Here is 10,000 Dorco DE blades for $525 offer. So what this tells me is my favorite blade (not Dorco) probably costs about 4 cents each to make and everything else is markup. PS: My fav cheap blade is Lord Platinum Class.

[Shavesq]

This just supports the premise that an item is worth what someone will pay for it. The original list price is of little consequence to collectors.

 

[GlennConti]

Here is a new fatty razor for cheap. If you want a rotund handle, this is the razor for you $18. Hefty at 88 grams too. Anyone shaved with this one before let us know.

I'm going out on a limb here, but from the looks of the Rhysrazors.com website, they are rebranding what are probably Chinese razors ala Utopia. The RR1 looks exactly like the Utopia Care Long Handle sold on Amazon and eBay. If this is true (or at least close), then this guy is probably a pretty decent shave plus a gnarly fat grip!

 

[GlennConti]

I guess I'm just a hick. But does the emperor have any clothes on? $150 for this Vintage Czech & Speake No. 88 shaving soap with bowl. The soap refills can be found for about $30. Is the glass bowl really worth $120?

Direct from website price is £95.00, about $162. And they are out of stock. So....maybe?

That's the business to be in if they are out of stock because they sell like hotcakes.

I just noticed the one that sold was a glass dish. The new ones are aluminum. So this is a limited edition kind of thing. Even a new aluminum one would be hard to find, if that's what you were after. Some people have more money than they know what to do with.

I can see splurging on a great scented shaving soap; but the other is a little over the top IMHO. Well, to those that have purchased the C&S No. 88 glass or aluminum dish, I bow to you.

For the rest of us try this.
