Never feel uneasy when you get something fair and square. That is an awesome set and I'm please to know it was a B&B member who got it rather than one of the few sellers who buy things and then place them right back on Ebay a week later at double the price. Awesome win for you my friend! Take very good pictures and contribute them to the Wiki as well! :thumbup:

Pics will certainly be up for all to see as well as for the Wiki. One thing I tell myself when I win & I know I beat out a fellow member, is that at least its "in the family" now. I don't make enough money or have the room for classic cars, so this works out well me as far as preserving a little history.

Congratulations on your winning this remarkable example of the Gillette Cavalier Set. I'm the member that nearly beat out your bid...my high bid was $736.51

Just for the record, what was your highest bid amount?

Have you all seen the listing with the $10,000.01 bid on a Gillette Old Type
De Luxe Safety Razor Combination Set!

you are absolved- however you can't go swimming for 1/2 hr after you've finished eating; (lest you get cramps and drown).

Way back when and there, even a shower after eating was considered to be playing with your life. "Disparate" the general umbrella term for such daring-doo, which included opening the refrigerator after coming in from the rain, or braving the lethal late night/early morning air.

You were lucky, only one half hour to recover.

My high bid was $750, so we were both very close.
I did see that $10,000.01 razor. I offered him one of my kidneys, but he hasn't responded yet. I think he's still thinking it over. I even told him I'd hold it for free until he needs it. I didn't tell him it was the one that gets kidney stones though!:lol:

That seller has been listing quite a few very nice razors lately, many of them minty.

The Cavalier may be the last of the really nice ones, unfortunately, according to the seller. I won another razor & asked about combined shipping as well as what else may be in the pipeline, like another engraved razor, & was told that the Cavalier was the nicest of the bunch & that most of what we've seen we gonna be it. There was mention of some others still left though.

But the shipping was only $4.95!!

Yeah, you'd think they might reconsider that but considering what the set cost, I'd be sure someone bought tracking and shipping insurance on it - which $4.95 doesn't include. And if the buyer is in Texas, they also get charged 8% tax according to the Shipping & Payments tab. Hope you aren't in Texas, eyeguy! lol!

I jokingly mentioned free shipping, but that was a no-go, which was OK, but we definitely agreed that insurance was a good idea for this purchase! Its always good for the seller to bring up insurance! I think that when the price gets up that high, the seller should almost always offer it.

Seriously, you just spent $700+ and they wouldn't ship it for free after it being mentioned? Geez. Good going on the insurance. USPS is known to lose a few things.

I spent well over $1000, so yeah it sucks, but I wanted it & I gotta pay! If I were the seller, I'd do free shipping with insurance!
Oh, and if USPS loses it, there will be a re-defining of going postal!!!:w00t:

Over $1000? What else did you buy??

Let's see, I got a Goodwill (in the cardboard box), the Aristocrat, the Somerset, & the Cavalier. Missed out on a few more though, which may have been a good thing! SWMBO would've likely flipped had I won everything I wanted!!
