For sale are 5 razors that I’m trimming from my den. All prices include shipping and PayPal fees, and they are available for CONUS only. I’ve taken pictures in good daylight, so you know what you’re getting.

1960 Fatboy — F2. This is in good, user grade condition, with perfect functioning of dials and final 1/4 turn. Plating is average, and it might make a great candidate for a replate. $35

British Post-War Flat Bottom Tech. A no-nonsense shaver which is slightly more aggressive than it’s American cousin. Condition is good, but there is brassing on the handle and baseplate. The handle on this Brit is heavier than others I’ve used, and once again, I chalk that up to British quality.
$30

Sheraton. This bad boy is an incredible shaver — as scary looking as it is (think Medieval torture device), it is really smooth and efficient. The gold plating has been left on the battlefield, and all that’s left is yellow and red brass. Teeth are really straight and the TTO is smooth. $55

British Aristocrat #66. (4th Generation). Needs little introduction. The rhodium on the handle has lots of brassing, and, as some have pointed out, has ‘character’. Despite the handle’s ‘pigmentation’, the knurling is great and still has plenty of grip. The head is practically flawless, and the TTO feels hydraulic in its smoothness. The case is adequate for its purpose. $90

1949 Rhodium Executive. This American beauty doesn’t become available too often, and here’s a chance for someone to add it to their den. The rhodium on the handle is gorgeous. The head of the razor, however, has a ‘hazy’ quality to it, and I’ve learned that this is not uncommon on rhodium razors. A dip of the head (partial replate) would restore this razor to perfection. The TTO is very smooth. Sorry it doesn’t come with the cool Ostrich case and mirror!
$110
