In continuing my retirement fund raising I have for your consideration my two most valuable razors. Two English beauties that have seen very little use and operate perfectly. A Gillette Rhodium #16 complete set in Ex+ condition ($285) and a #58 (Heavy Model) also in Ex+ condition with a solid but non-original case that has a couple of dings ($125). I also have 3 (NOS) D. H. Harris Marlborough soap refills ($15 ea. but only with a razor purchase - it's not worth it to ship them on their own). Prices include shipping. Con. US Only.

Tell me more about the #58 please. A little new to me but, it looks interesting. Googling showed just Aluminum and Nickel versions too.
The English No. 58 I believe came in 3 variants. A lighter aluminium model (33g.) and 2 heavier (68g.) nickel plated models with the difference being one is marked Patent Pending and the other Brit. Pat. 694093 from 1955 (the one I'm selling). These feel great in hand with good weight. The handle is a little wider than the English Flair Tip Rocket (my regular shaver). It also seems a bit more agressive than the Rocket to me.
