Well honestly I have no job, but the chance of me coming up on one of these again is honestly probably never going to happen and I know its rare and worth $$$ money, but knowing that its in my possession makes me feel well great. so no im not selling it. for now atleast. Maybe in a few years or decades.That's probably the best $10.80 you've spent in a while. Soooo...Are ya gonna sell it?
To let you know how funny the prices are at this place. I paid 7 for my slim adjust. They have a flare tip for 8, and then they have a cheap plastic feeling metal razor from germany, that the guard goes up on instead of down and it will not unscrew, it cost 17, i wouldnt pay 1 for that one

hey T Rick has 3 ask him
Some antique dealers are kind of funny that way. "Oh, that's old, so it's worth a lot.
That's old and foreign, so it's worth more.
That's old and says Gillette on it, so it must be rare, so it's worth a whole lot, because they're hard to find.
" I thought Gillette made millions of razors, didn't they?

Nope
. And no job here either, but there's always hope.Congrats on a great score, that's truly a gift finding one for that price. Now to search for a case for it
. I hope you have as good much luck there as I did- I found my case before I found the uncased DR (it had a NEW in it, I just checked the pics). Think I paid around $25 IIRC. The uncased DR OTOH, ran $160, but came with a British Rocket (beat, still not cleaned up) and a Bostonian case (not in horrible shape).
Very nice find sir!! The Grand Daddy Gillette DE that started it all!
Great find and an even better price. It's good to see that they still pop up and get rescued.
I am a little jealous. I have been hunting for one for some time now - but with no luck.
My turn will come!!
