Well, if the price is right ...

Looks like a pretty decent Black Handle SS.

Not a bad resting spot if you have a homeless Aristocrat either. I wouldn't bid more than $20 with shipping though.

This is the one that sticks out for me from todays comings and goings on Fleabay:

Whoever got that should be wearing a mask

Evening gents...

Well, this is by FAR the best deal I've done on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151655195254?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I was just happened to be looking at new listings and this came up when I refreshed the page....I couldn't believe this was listed BIN for $25! The one lone photo was crappy, but I figured WTH for 25 bucks, probably pieces of junk, no big deal, right? The razors came in this morning and I took some before their spa treatment and after...

Here are the before....BTW every one of them had a rusty blade loaded which I took out before I took the pics:

Now that's a nice little haul......

And after:



I could hardly believe it....TWO 1949 Milords and a '46-'47 Aristocrat! One of the Milords and the Aristocrat are nearly perfect...the other Milord...not so much....but I'm still thrilled!! Anyone have a creme Speed-Pak of blades they'd like to get rid of so I can complete the Milord set, lol?

Awesome! Congrats!

Great score. Sometimes it pays to gamble.

Thanks! Is there any way to differentiate between the 1946 and 1947 Aristocrats or are they exactly the same?

Not as far as i know. They were the same until 1948 when the center bar was notched.

Not eBay, but thought this was interesting for a "collector". I am heading back home for the weekend and saw this on CL Boston. $16 for a dozen fatboy back then!

Nice! Red and black NEW Deluxe 15 mm version with bar handle. Sweet, sweet razor.

Just bought one essentially the same as that one from etsy. Whoever bought that really did get a smokin' deal.

I confess, I landed that one. I bought it because I wanted an extra 15mm and they are very hard to find.

That I don't get. I paid premium for a #16 in that same #16 case, and this was $100 more for a mismatched/lesser razor??

Even if they already had a 16 razor in an executive case, that still doesn't make sense. Plus, the case is missing the blade dispenser. I confuse. :/

Looks like the seller is finally getting ready to sell. They have had this bottom dial at an abnormally high price for a while ($2995 or $2495 I am not sure). But now they have dropped the price to $1999.99 offer. They have had 25 offers all declined. So my guess is the price the seller has in mind is still too high. Here it is.
