I hit the "I am in love with the slants" stage in my DE shaving adventures, so I am looking for Merkur HD Long Handle Barber Pole Slant (a.k.a 39C, a.k.a. Sledgehammer) to add to my collection. If you have one in great condition we can work out a trade for some of the below; or I can sell them to finance my purchase.

For your consideration I have 3 Gillette TTO razors all in great condition.

-----------------
1) SOLD. Thanks raisindot. Gillette Slim Adjustable dated L3. Very nice, clean, and shiny. No brassing, pitting, or water spots. Has the usual small surface finish scratches from use. TTO works great and closes nice, even, and tight. Adjuster works fine. A few digits are missing black paint. I would like to get $30 shipped for it.

-----------------
2) SOLD. Thanks vitaman. Gillette Slim Adjustable dated K1. Same deal - very nice, clean, and shiny. No brassing, pitting, or water spots. Has the usual small surface finish scratches from use. There is a small "tug" that can be felt at one point during tightening - maybe a drop of oil will take care of it, maybe not - but it does not affect the functionality and it closes nice, even, and tight. Adjuster works fine. All digits except "7" have black paint in it. I am being really picky, so if I look closely I can see a small circle nick in the middle of the handle which you can (kinda) see on the last picture. I would like to get $27 shipped for it.

3) SOLD. Thanks dfollett_98 Gillette Flaretip Superspeed dated K4. Also very nice, clean, and shiny. No brassing, pitting, or water spots. Has the usual small surface finish scratches from use. TTO works great and closes nice, even, and tight. I would like to get $18 shipped for it.

Would like to trade any combination of Slim + Flaretip for Merkur 39C. Or open to other offers. Thanks.

Hi Y2K:

If the flaretip is not spoken for I would love to buy it from you. I established and funded my Paypal account a couple of days ago so I believe I am good to go. I'm new to this bb but this looks like a beautiful razor at a very good price. Please let me know and I will attempt to make this work. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Don

I received the razor in the mail today. It's absolutely beautiful! Thank you also for the blade samples. I ordered a blade sampler pack from West Coast Shaving but I'm anxious to give this razor a try tonight. I believe it will become my go-to razor. It will certainly be my most beautiful razor.

Thanks so much for a fair price on a wonderfully maintained razor, the sample blades and the positive purchasing experience on B&B. I appreciate and thank you very much.
