SOLD

I've kept this one for quite some time even though I gravitate towards 6/8 size, but it seems I just won't get into large blades, especially with rounded points.

As you know 7/8 and larger razors are rare, full hollow ones even rarer and relatively expensive (if you exclude the newly ground friodurs that is which are a grand a dozen :)). Well, this one is full hollow, it is slightly over 7/8 and it is American!

The blade is in great condition, the buyer can polish it if they want and have perfect mirror finish but at the expense of the grinding marks from the factory.
Virtually no hone wear, great tiny bevel too :)

As I said 7/8, full hollow ground, round point, double stabilizer, jimps (notches) on top of the slightly humped shank.

The scales are black celluloid with cream spacer, and certainly fit the blade. I have the original box as well, it's in pretty good condition with a bit of wear. Here's an old photograph I have with part of it

Shave ready.

$183, first class shipping worldwide is included, any other option available at buyer's request and expense.

Oh man, that's a beautiful one. And like you said, American. If only I hadn't just had a serious bout of HAD (pun not intended)... I hope this goes fast!
