In my search to purchase my grail razor I have been watching eBay and also checking the BST obsessively. Each time I miss out on this beauty!
I was following an auction on eBay for what looked like a near mint condition 1934 Gillette Aristocrat. This included the original box, cloth for the box and 5 blades still in the wrapper. Even the case looked pristine! Wow what a true gem this razor is.
The bidding was fast and furious at the end and I was outbid. The final price $305!!!! Too rich for my blood. As i have seen the high dollar prices these have been going for i knew it would be costly. Even so i felt my high bid was higher than anything I have spent so far. Heck I could combine multiple razors/soaps i own and not equal the amount.
One day I will find one! I will be able to open that shiny gold case. Slowly look inside and see the bright beautiful razor nestled inside like a golden scepter. Waiting to be admired, waiting to give another lifetime of shaves.
Well I can dream anyway......
I hope someone from B&B scored this amazing razor!
Anyway what is your grail razor that has slipped through your fingers?
