    Heck of a shaver, heck of a deal. I'm a bit jealous, actually - the Super Adjustables (aka, Black Beauty) are my favorite Gillette adjustable.

    Didn't think you could get BBs replated. Learned something new. Does he redo the black too?

    Nice snag! Looks like it cleaned up really well, too! All of this for only $5? A bargain!
