New way to use an adjustable?

[Barbarian]

Haha, just surfing auctions and found a slim adjustable. In the description:

...The handle is textured and balanced so it feels great in your hand, there's an adjustor wheel up towards the blade that numbers from 1 - 9 that is so finite and precise I use it to count how many shaves are on the blade...

This really cracked me up.

That is funny.

Guess it could have been worse - maybe an ad for a new shaving abacus.

I just bought that one because he says it's gold and I've been looking for that aristocrat. Now it's relisted?

 

[hypo_style]

Terrible photos in that listing...unless he was commissioned to create some band's album cover...

 

[amishmotorboat]

Oh lord. No way. The current one is his fourth listing. 3 others sold. No way is this legit.

Maybe the Aristocrats keep multiplying in his shave drawer when the lights are out. But looking at the picture, his definition of gold is not the same as mine.

Bon chance!

He uses the "numbers" to keep track of the shaves? LOL I wonder if he wonders why it burns at the end?

 

[mark_mw]

Quite logical - a blade gets duller with each shave, so the exposure is increased as the "count" is adjusted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe there is a lot of plate loss. The brass is 'gold-like.'

That might be an indication that the adjuster ring functions better as a counter than as an adjustment on his particular razor.

Maybe he is counting down from 9.

Buyer beware...

The photos in that listing look like they were intentionally blurred using photoshop, not by the lens of the camera. To have a razor thin depth-of-field like that, and still be getting the whole razor in the photo, he would have had to be waaaay back with a long telephoto taking those. Since it looks like they were taken from above, like the razor was laying on a table, it seems unlikely he was far away. On top of that, the sharp areas don't match up. The edge of the closed comb is in focus, as is _part_ of the handle? Someone explain how that could happen. It doesn't make sense.

He must have been feeling the pain after the 9th shave then!

He might be using a scanner to take the pictures.

Good call. I think that's exactly what he's doing.

 

[maj_planb]

Oh my! Just when I though no one can surprise me any more.

 

[dustinm]

Looks like you could be right. It does almost look like he set the razor on the scanner and a towel over it. I would have never thought of that.
