I'm finding more and more of these lately.
Upside Down Baseplate Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter Hoka Hey
- Start date
There was one that did not have an upside-down baseplate, just handle, cap and blade listed for $90.00. At least an upside-down baseplate is a baseplate; no baseplate is a killer.
This Old Type became a "Gillette long comb with accesories" by just turning the baseplate around...
Hehe... good for you?
Taking it to the next level:
The manufacturer's picture has a flipped baseplate. In every picture. They didn't even accidentally get one right. This one is filled with unintentional hilarity. I especially enjoy "rotatable handle".
Also, it really speaks to the quality of your razor when you show bearded men in your photos. "I ain't shavin' with that thing!"

This is hilarious!
"This is old but never used"
Yes, I can understand why....

Black bakelite beauty.
Beauties....
Something doesn't look right here... besides the baseplate being upside down it also looks bent.
Yup!

But how does it shave?
I think I own one of those. Very aggressive. Possibly safer without the baseplate. Cost 2.00.

Those are some good ones. Love the descriptions!
Ha ha! Excellent, gents!
I like when "adjustable" is in the title on listings for Techs and Super Speeds. I figure the sellers see that adjustables sell for more and just throw that description on their listings.
Another funny: The other day I saw a listing for a razor that had a horribly rusted blade in it. In the description, the seller noted that the blade may need to be changed before use.
