What's new

One of the rarest vintage Gillette razors has found a new home

I've been trying to convince the owner of this one to sell it to me for a couple years now. To no avail. I would have more luck acquiring a hen's tooth.

I wonder if the person who bought this one is a fellow forum member. We're talking about probably the rarest Gillette razor ever and only people who have a clue about it would buy it and most of the info available comes from this and a few other shaving forums. Newbies and casual DE/wetshavers don't know such things.
 
Let's be honest.
He was never going to going to get $25,000.00 for it, or even $10,000.00
How much more he might have got on a different day is highly speculative.
Every serious collector knows about ebay. There were 20 bids.
I'd say the item found its market value.

Besides, I got the later Techmatic for just a few dollars.
Better blade system too!
