Quick Question: What is this razor?

[Chris14]

Hi there,

I'm new around here, biding my time until my birthday when I will be receiving a new Merkur DE Razor and supplies so I can finally leave cartridge razors behind.

Anyway, just wanted to ask some of you who are far more knowledgeable in this area: what is this razor? It has come up for purchase and I would like to know whether it is worth it or not? Going for ~$10. What do you think?

Looks like a Wilkinson Sword "Sticky" in which case $10 is an absolute steal.

Yup, a Sticky. And while I have no personal interest in one, they seem to go for well in excess of $50-$75 depending upon condition. Even I would buy one in a second for $10.

Thanks so much for the input guys. Have just finalised the purchase and picked up this razor for $28NZD, the equivalent of $20USD, so from what I have read a pretty good deal.

Hope to polish it up and will post pics later... now I just need some blades to shave with it! Gosh darn being in a non-DE friendly market....

Cheers!

Chris,
How did that Sticky shape up for you?
