It has arrived. This thing is pretty cool. It feels like I opened a time machine. I was sitting here unboxing it and got it laid on the desk and just looked at it for a minute thinking about how many pockets it must have been in, how long ago someone used it to actually shave their face and things like that. I finally opened it and snapped some shots.
Closed Box
Open Box
Opened the razor case. There were a bunch of different blades in there, some you can see in this picture.
Here is a closer shot of the different blades.
Date on the handle says Jan 12, 1920! It's almost 100 years old! Wow. Still in really good shape considering. They don't really make stuff to last like this anymore, which is kind of sad...I can hardly get 2 years out of my $300+ smartphone.
I cant decide if i want to try and clean it up and restore/ polish it with the wheel and try and use it and stuff or leave it in the box all rustic looking and just look at it. Either way I think it is pretty awesome to have.
