I ventured into Ebay

[Bacchus]

And came back Victorious!

Behold my new razor, proudly displayed on my green honing towel!

It's a 11/16 World Master by Otto Busch!





But wait..., what's this?

Uh oh, not the greatest picture, but you know what this means!

Ok, start drooling

According to the seller, only the Monday and Saturday razors had ever been honed. Those are the ones that have tinted scales and the gold wash isn't as defined (but still good), from being left outside of the box.

These razors are free of rust/cracks/chips, and even came to me oiled There is a bit of patina in some spots which I may try to take off with a Q-tip and polish later on, and the Saturday razor can hit the scales when closing so I will tap the razor end pin to try to tighten it.

But overall:

I started out thinking, "Wow! that's a beautiful razor you have there."
Then I saw the day marking and thought, "Cool! It's part of a seven day."
Then I saw the case, without scale, and thought, "That case is in really great shape." You know, like it was a case for one razor.

Then I saw the set and the part about all but two being unhoned and was awestruck.

Lucky boy here. Fantastic score.
