I haven't bought too many razors lately, but the collecting bug is still strong. I'm just a little more discriminating in what I will part with my hard-earned cash for. 
An antique dealer acquaintance who knows of my hobby picked this up for me at an estate sale in Florida. It was a little cruddy, but polished up nicely. A little leather conditioner on the case didn't hurt either. It's serial number is an "H", putting it in the 1918 manufacturing year, and the last run before all the "J" numbered military razors. It's not mint by any means, but in pretty god shape to 91 years old. It has assumed it's place of honor in my basement office next to my Old Type Aristocrat with the bell-shaped handle. I thought they looked good together.
