    Default Gillette 501 Special--got it!

    Here's the razor I was talking about in a thread the other day, asking about a fair price for. Well, I haven't got around to taking some pics of it till this evening so here ya'll go. If it was used it was so lightly as to no cause any problems. Looks as if the lady I got it from tried to wipe finger prints off of the blade case with the outside of the rough storage bag. Ugggggg.

    BUT.....here's the kicker..........
    She has another one just like it!!! She thinks she knows where it's at and needs to have her son find it for her. So I gave her an extra $10 for his trouble and told her I'd be back at the end of the month. WOOT!!!!!!!

    Wasn't at a junk store, believe it or not. Is a very old lady who I met thru another gentleman. Was provenance I think. Or just some good Karma coming my way for once.

    I like that mirror finish on it. The blade case reminds me of a brass zippo.
