Trolling eBay

Also seems like it would awkward to use.

Ok who here is gonna buy it? We want pictures in use.

 

That would pair well with the straight razor sporting the nekkid lady scales.
(Did I mention I'm divorced?)

 

Sometimes it's for the best. This or that

 

I've also seen a very similar TracII-compatible handle.

 

Just saw a very unusual French razor that made me go WOW! It's a BIN and so out of the park price I thought I'd share it.

pricey.........

 

Oh yeah!

 

But it's only got flea bites and lost plating all over, and the box is chipped with a broken hinge. What a deal!
The reversible base plate is interesting.

 

Remember, those give it _character_. Everyone knows that if it's not abused, it can't really be an antique!

 

I think it's a language barrier thing.

 

That's right Pinkie(the seller's name)...dunk that baby in water, do a shave, repeat 20 times, and sell the thing.

 

I believe this is from the 50's suppose to be a great razor, but steep at half the price. In 2014 they were going for ~$90.

 

What exactly is a "flea bite" ?

 

A pit or hole in the plating. It may affect the base metal under the plating. Not something that can be polished out.

 

While I like it, I have a very strong feeling that brush would suffer the same fate as the "leg lamp" from A Christmas Story were it to appear on my bathroom counter

 

Keys to lathering a Badger....
1) Get a gun.....

 

I thought it required a Fiat...

 

Soak in whiskey

 

Hmm... Doesn't hard liquor amplify rage? (wine == weepy drunk, beer==belligerent, whiskey==raging?) That'd make the brush 'self lathering'.

 

Only if one fails to soak long enough.
