It seems to be in great shape but there are only traces of the nickel(?) plating left, I will know more when it comes in. Would you guys get something like this re-plated or not? I mean there is almost no plating at all left even though it kind of looks cool the way it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290465956694

And at a very nice price. I'd wait until you get a look at it in real life. Sometimes heavily used razors suit their look and it's best to leave them. Other just look crappy and a replate will do wonders for it.

Wonderful, wonderful razor. I agree with John, wait till it arrives. You may be delighted with its current condition.

Oh man I had that on my watch list and was looking to bid on it but ending up forgetting about the auction. I really wanted it. Im glad someone here got it and will appreciate shaving with it. You're going to shave with it ...right?

Why sure, I shave with all of my razors, that's half of the fun of collecting.:thumbup1:
