Valet

Whats the general thought on these razors, quite a few on e bay and i have been thinking about one?
 
Very, very plentiful on eBay. Every mixed lot of razors will include a Valet, it seems.

The business model when they were current razors was that the blades were relatively expensive but could be used for extended periods of time because the razor incorporates an autostrop mechanism that allows stropping the razor each time you use it.

The problem is that most of the razors you find will come without strops and without rust-free blades.

Feather apparently currently makes blades in this size/format but apparently they are expensive and only available in large quantities.

DIrving is the guru on Valets/Autostrops. I have several and a number of blades but no strop(s). I found some in an antique shop which have strops.
