I received today my green (red/black) NEW case with a most suspicious razor, as discussed in the eBay thread.

I'm going to do some side-by-side shots. As it turned out, I did have one other handle like it. First, Chris's reference pic.
The handle in question is the 6th from the left, a nickel/chromium version of what Chris would probably call a "long thin bar handle."
Let's start with the case.

Let's start with the case.
- The outside appears exactly as the red/black set in dimension, but minus the reptilian texture in favor of a more basic textile exterior.
- Inside, it looks like it had been left open in direct sunlight for many years. Quite possibly a rat family could have resided in here for a few generations. That's a bummer. I tried cleaning up a tad, but had to stop because the felt is so fragile. You can already see pronounced shedding in the front, as well as fading.
- After a quick soak, this is the specimen. I couldn't tell that it was a thin handle from the ebay pic, but I could tell something was off. Turns out it is a bulky fitting.
