Today was the day I hoped to get the lovely boxed flat bottomed tech I mentioned previously, but the bidding went above my budget.
So I've taken a punt on this, and I'm not sure if I've made a big mistake or whether my research has got me a good deal.
Everything about the head tells me it's an English Flat Bottom. I checked every photo I could find and everything matched up. So hopefully I have identified the head correctly.
But what about the handle? It was suggested it was a German made model like this one here, but I contacted the seller and he said it weighed in at 58g, so things didn't add up.
I then saw the '47 gold tech on Mr Razor, and the handle looks very similar (it's that ridge above the ball that stands out), but the head doesn't match.
So, I'm clueless. Have I bought a Frankenrazor? I'm not overly bothered if that is the case. I had my sites on a flat bottom (if that's what it is), so if only half of my razor is a flat bottom, I'm happy. And if I've got something entirely different, let me down gently!
Thanks. 7
