Well done, whoever you are.

Indeed! Congrats to whomever it was. I was watching it and had contacted the seller about adding a buy-it-now price, but somebody else beat me to it. I sure hope it was someone here. It looks like an excellent condition set.

lol! I did too! Had the window open and was refreshing the page religiously, but got distracted opening packages.
Opening packages is a better excuse than mine (working on German).
Very true. But given the option of opening packages that would have neat razors (at least, that's what I'm guessing would be in Amish's packages) or translating simple exercise sentences, opening the packages would win for me. However, if you check back with me when I start getting into more difficult and more interesting material, I might have a different answer.
So even with the cracked handle, $79.95 (shipped) is good?

It's a Criterion Deluxe in spectacular shape. Yes. Yes that's a good deal.
edit: and I didn't know this until today, but this one is chromium plated.

Nice razor.
I've found that the hobby of spotting and watching these critters on Ebay is almost as fun as buying them, and a heck of a lot cheaper!

I didn't know they were chromium plated. I would have assumed silver. Hmm...I learn something new every day.
perty razor!
Not me I'm afraid. A very nice pick up for someone though. I didn't know they were chrome. I would have assumed it was silver as well.
Gee, you guys are slipping around here, not one word about the blades, check out the third picture from the left in the first post, where's HIGHBALL when you need him.
really? I thought the only chromium plated Gillette was a new deluxe Norfolk... (and I don't know where I picked that up....)
That is one nice looking razor.
It has the discontinued Krona blades, 5 of them. Rare blades, so a good pickup.
Ding, and we have have a winner, pcullens knows his stuff. According to HIGHBALL these blades were made for a very short time, then discontinued. This razor set when new came with 10 of these blades, http://badgerandblade.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=70682&stc=1&d=1255596042
Jon. My New Big Boy De Luxe is chrome as well. It is easy to see on the Norfolk and Big Boy. The plating is a much cleaner blue/white then any of my silver plated razors. Except for Krumholz I can't verify the Criterion. Mine is very beautifully gold plated.

A July 12, 1930 advertisement for the Criterion in the Literary Digest states that it was available in gold and chromium plate.
