A friend of my wife's alerted her to some razors available on a local Facebook swap 'n shop site so the wife showed me the pictures. One was a Gem single-edge and the other was an Aristocrat still in the case sold as a pair for $15.
The Aristocrat case is pretty rough, but from the rather crude and small cell phone photo, the Aristocrat doesn't look too bad. I let the wife deal with all this since I don't do Facebook and she did ask and the he said the doors on the Aristocrat open and it is functional. I'm hoping it falls into the "it just needs a good cleaning" category.
Definitely worth a blind buy for $15. We live 30 miles away so the seller is going to drop it off at the antique store where the wife has a booth and my wife will get it tomorrow when she goes to work. I'm off tomorrow, so I'll have to wait 2 days here to see what I got.
I wasn't particularly looking for an Aristocrat, but if one falls into my hands like this, I'll take it. If the condition is not what I expect, I'm only out $15.
I wasn't really that interested in the Gem, but it comes in a cool white plastic compartmentalized box and both the razor and box look to me in excellent shape. Who knows? It might get me started with single-edge shaving. You can still find blades for them can't you?
