Looks neat. I have no experience, so let me know how it goes. 
well.. that looks nice
Does look nice, how is the quality compared to Gilllette or a Modern Razor like EJ, Muhle, Merkur ? Also if you shave with it let us know hoe you heard.
Never seen one!
It's a dead clone,probably from the original dies,of the Soviet era Ruben-1 razor,made at the Soviet military aircraft factory.That's a 1963 Gillette next to it. I get great shaves with it,really surprised.The mechanism is not as buttery smooth as a British #16 Aristocrat ,but it is not "gritty" or cheap feeling either.At $25 it's a great buy,at $35 with shipping you could probably find a good Gillette on the forum ...

Looks nice. Long handle. The black parts... plastic or metal?
Plastic. But in my opinion of high quality!

I have one on order. The allure of a brand new unused Adjustable for $35 shipped was quite great.
Sure you can buy a preowned Vintage Gillette for that, but you won't be the only user of it.
Having watched a NOS Super Adjustable sell for over $100 the other day, I feel this should be quite the good deal.
The seller seems to have been selling these for awhile, and puts them up 2-3 at a time. Here is a link to the BIN:

To clarify, it is only the adjustment plate that is plastic correct? The same as on the late model Super Adjustable by Gillette? The handle itself is coated/painted aluminum? Or bare aluminum as it appears in the pictures from the Ebay sale.
