Nothing special here. Just a 3 piece Weishi. I ordered 3 or 4 razors from China. This one is also sold as Yintal and Qshave. A bit heavy for my taste, but I like the aggressive shave. It is more aggressive than the similarly looking Maggard V3A.
 
I stumbled across this today.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found a nice complete Red and Black Special set inside.

It has no serial number and it has the "Reissue Pat." on the base which is different than what I remember seeing.

Very nice! I am often amazed at the low prices asked in some US stores. It is as if the sellers have no idea of the value of their goods and have not thought of looking online at recent sale prices, or even selling online themselves. I wonder how they stay in business. Here in the UK I have never once seen a vintage razor, other than straights or Rolls razors, in an antique shop, they all sell online; even the charity shops, or thrift stores, sell on the bay. There is literally nothing - not that I am jealous or anything 🤣
 
1/5 known to exist... silver plated New Deluxe President! Got lucky to find this deep diving razor lots on the gold old ‘bay. I can’t wait to get it replated just hope the details don’t get too lost, already well worn off as is
