What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Sounds like you need some Depends.

 

As a plus, they also absorb blood.

 

I was looking at Flare Tips, and some how I won this



It looks near mint for a Type I1 in Chrome? I am sure I have an unopened boxed Type I1 in Ivory somewhere ...

 

How did you get to that from flare tips! Sure looks nice though...

 

I made the mistake of looking at the sellers other items. I know next to nothing about Gillette DE's, and no one is willing to tell you about buying them...

 

There is a lot of info hear about Gillette DE's if you have specific questions I suggest you start a thread and everyone can help. There are many knowledgeable members here.

 

The sort of questions I want to ask are not really allowed in most forums, I know the prices of all injectors, shavette's and cart razors but I wouldn't have a clue on the market price of a Flare Tip, Slim Adjustable etc ...

 

Here's an idea. My first vintage DE's were a flare tip and Slim and I bought both on the bay as a lot for 25usd.

 

You Guys are Splittin my Ribs..

Okay, I may have got carried away. Please tell me this is a White Type L?

 

Its a Type L 1..

Billy..

 

Thanks. But did they come in white? ...

 

I just placed my first TSD Store order. I am waiting on some samples of Aftershave Milk, some soap samples, some M-Bomb (I need to try this whole menthol thing) and 2 packs of Voskhod blades.

 

Yeah..Not as Common but Yeah..They were more Common in the Schick Plant in Holland & that looks like what You have there..Those blades are Dutch..

My personal opinion from what I've seen

Flair tips range from $10-$15
Super speeds from $10-$20
Slims $20-$35
Fatboy's $25-$60
Blue tips $15-$25
Red tips $20-$30
Black tips $10-$20
Aristricrats $35-$50
Old types $15-$30 depending on the handle

There are way more obviously but those are what I've generally seen. Boxed sets command more than what I've listed. What I've seen loose with out cases are these prices. I would say add $10 to the flair tips and super speeds if they come cased.
Me personally I don't see anything wrong with telling people what things are worth. With exception of someone repeatedly asking without trying to figure it out themselves after awhile. In the beginning when I was trying to start purchasing some vintage, I kept getting " it's worth what ever someone is willing to pay". I would frustrate me, because I really wanted to get help. I appreciated the advice some were willing to give and in the end I was able to use that and make some smart purchases. As time went on i gained the knowledge of what things will go for. I've seen a couple of people come on and ask just so they can go back and sell on eBay, those people are obvious. I think if someone is truly wanting to get into this hobby, they should be able to come in here and ask those questions.

 

Fantastic order bro!

 

Ask away

 

What about British vs American flare tips or British red tips etc. and other country variances. I've recently seen VG condition FB go for a lot more on the bayz.

 

Like I said there are a lot more, I'm no expert and I don't pretend to know everything. It was just my opinion on the basics.
