    I'd buy it, but the cartridges are just too expensive.

    Before I bid, a few questions come to mind:

    1) Where do you put the blade?
    2) Is it adjustable?
    3) What's the date code (1st millenium BC is just way to nonspecific)?
    4) Is there any brassing not seen in the photos?
    5) Does it come with it's original case and instructions?

    Nearly the entire face would be a hard-to-reach area with that fine instrument.

    Shouldn't it be made of bronze?

    A little scrubbing bubbles and it should be good to go.

    Funny but i agree how can that possibly be determined to be a razor, why not a small axe head or a fish descaler,?

    The real question is how much would a honemeister charge you when it starts getting dull?
