There is a little plate wear on the ends of the silo doors and the bottom of the TTO knob. It looks worse in the pictures.

$45 CONUS

Jay is the proceeds from this sale going to a good cause..like the "Sticky" perhaps. :biggrin:

Yes, Yes a good cause. :thumbup:

But unfortunately, not a sticky. See my pictures in the Straight Razor Forum under the heading "Disaster". :crying:

I may be adding a cased #66 and even the Sticky isn't immune from this quest.

Final offer. $35

Come on everyone! It's a really nice razor. No one interested in an Executive?

I guess no one will be interested in the President I was going to offer next.

Uhm I know that I am a noob and that my knowledge of razors does not go far beyond my HD and Tech... But isn't this a President? It looks like this one (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=25058&highlight=president)... And according to this picture (http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Image:Executive.JPG) and this thread (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=10872) an Executive is an adjustable... Of course I could be totally wrong, but this has me confused...

They did make an adjustable Executive, But the original Executive was a gold President. It was also known as a Diplomat depending on the packaging.

The adjustable razors were first test marketed, I believe, in 1956 or 1957. That would be the earliest adjustable Executive you would find.

Thanks for clearing that up! As I said my experience is limited and the world of vintage razors has proven to be rather confusing so far... (Un)fortunately I can't afford to develop RAD at the moment :crying:.

Jay, the razor does appear to be silver or very worn in your pics. Is this the case, or are the pics bad? I'm not interested, as I have a few of these already, but better pics may make someone give into their RAd.
