Most ridiculous priced & worst razor thread

[ghostknife]

Well I don't know if this has been done before, I searched and didn't find one. Anyway I thought it would be fun to see what people find in their quest for razors. Whether it be found on the bay, in a shop or elsewhere, whats the worst price or worst razor you can find OR both!

I'll start off with this one, I nearly choked on my coffee when i saw it which inspired me to start this thread. Post your worst razor nightmare!

Nearly all of the razors from Bulgaria are way over priced and generally not in so good a shape.

Is it just me or is that actually a 1920s (no serial code) "old-type"?

Well you've raised the bar pretty high! Be *real* interesting if that can be topped.

Heres one to match the supposed prototype, from the same guy. It's even listed as Frakenrazor Gillette Super speed safety Razor vintage

Only $150 for a modified Superspeed? Looks like the end has been polished to the brass and the head has been sprayed with gold paint, but I'm prepared to be wrong

I saw a Rolls razor that was far from pristine in an antique store, the price tag on it was $130.00!

It's an OBO, so offer a buck and see what happens!

No, then he might get stuck with it.

There's a "Eureka Razor" periodically listed for $600+

Anything Merkur makes is ridiculously overpriced

I have a 1945 tech I paid like $6 for with box. It still had a 49 cent price tag on it.

1950's tech - $149.99 plus shipping ....

Wow! A $150 tech. Sign me up for two!

How about the new feather DE razor ?

The portable was less that 8$ and this one is around 150$. To me, the head looks the same as the portable and its with a longer handle.

The mat finish looks sure are stunning but 150$ !!

I ran across an $85 DOLLAR valet autostrop at an antique store. Not in the best shape either.

Just found this beauty.
