The beautiful, silly money "Pat. Apl'd For" Double Ring came today. I'd feel bad if I could wipe the smile off my face.

Wow! That is amazing. Congratulations on such a fine find. The condition looks excellent as well.
Damn good looking for 107 years old. Pop a razor in and have a shave. Don't worry about shims, it will shave fine.

Wow Awsome, Dont wipe that smile, keep on Smiling it all you Right now 
Your smile will last even longer when you shave with it. I reckon the Double Ring is a great shaving razor.
That has probably the best plating I've seen on one of those, a lot better than mine. Nice.
Wow, that's amazing. It's even nicer looking than in the original auction pics.
I don't see any plating loss on it except for the little dark spot on the thread. The interior of the razor barrel is even pristine, no old soap scum or corrosion. If this razor was ever used it had to be very lightly.
It's really a beautiful piece. It looks much better than the auction pics. I think you did very well
Amazing.
I must say, you have a very nice antique there. It's a real beauty.
That's the kind of razor I could never shave with. Murphy's Law would be all over me. I'd drop it the tile, and break a couple teeth off, bang my head trying to pick it up, slip on the floor rushing to see how bad the damage is, drop the blade taking it apart and instinctively grasp it mid air full fist slicing all the tendons in my fingers, then knock the handle into the toilet and bump the lever to flush when I passed out.
Just sayin...
That's the kind of razor you coat in bee's wax and set up under glass. I could make a shadow box with glass and hang it on the wall with a chair in front of it and just wrap a bib around my neck to catch the drool..
So happy for you!!
Congratulations!!

I did give it a coat of Renaissance Wax after I polished it lightly with Maas, then I put it in here.

I didn't put on a bib though.
I demand that you post better photos of that case! What a tease
Absolutely lovely razor...I don't know what you paid and don't care, it was worth it. But do take it out of the case once in a while and use it for its intended purpose. I'll bet KCG had these earliest models quite heavily plated and, with care, should last many generations.
Congratulations!

These off the wall,ludicris prices are a wonderfull thing for sellers
I've got this old type to use without the worry. This did clean up better then I thought it would but the handles warped, its got a bent tooth, and the head is down to brass so I don't have to concern myself about an epic fail of dropping him.

Can u hold thay lovely child )

replated?
I don't think so. The knurling and "PAT. APL'D FOR" are very crisp and sharply defined as are the teeth. I can't see any signs of replating covering normal wear and tear as you'd have in a razor that had seen a lot of use. So if it has been replated, it had to be a razor that never saw much use to begin with.
