I mentionned a razor in this thread:

Here are the pics:

First, the box

Opened box (shinyyyy)

Oh Canada

Group pic

(still one blade in the blade holder)

Next to a tech:

Some small defects

Now a few questions:
-Am I wrong ir this is a long combs Canadian NEW?
-Should I use that razor or this has some collectible value?
-How about the blade? If it's in good condition, should I use it?
-What would you consider that razor to worth?

It's extremely nice and you should use it whether or not it has "collector value", because the real value is the pleasure you will get from shaving with it.

-I think you are right about that
-I think you should use it, at least once. It's a great looking razor. If you want to have a display of your collection eventually then maybe not. I would try it at least once!
-I never use the blades that comes with the razor. You can if it looks sealed and without rust. I would prefer buying vintage blades that are sealed.
-Worth? No idea but this kit is in excellent condition.

Your set is called "Berkshire". Nice set too!

Another question: On a SS, you open the head and let the water run on the blade after every shave. How do you clean a 3-4 piece razor after every shave?

I slightly loosen the head and run water through it. There is no need to totally disassemble it.

Well, since it's not NOS anyway, I guess I could shave a few times with it without damaging it

It's calling me.

The way I see it is that if it worth (way) more than I paid for it, if it's more a collectible than a user, I will sell/trade it for users. I'm more a user than a collector.
