    Recently, I was the recipient of a very generous PIF of several vintage razors from @Morman Bridge. Three of these were duplicates of razors I already owned, so I thought I would share the wealth and pass on the duplicates.

    First up is a Standard 160 Goodwill razor. This is probably the most common of the Gillette Goodwill razors and is based on the New Long Comb. As such, it is pretty much the same as shaving with a New LC.

    The plating is not too bad considering the age of the razor (80+ years) with a bit of the gold lost on the top of the cap and the inside surfaces. The handle does have a small crack and both ends are loose, so some repair is advised if you want to use the original handle. The box is included and is intact with the original liner, but no blades; it does have several stains, however.

    Now for the fine print...
    For cost reasons, I'm going to limit this PIF to CONUS or APO addresses only, but I'll not place any other limitations on membership time, etc. Just post "I'm in!" to be entered.

    Let's let this run until Sunday (2/5) evening at 2100 EST. Winner to be picked by random selection.

    Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor. :)
