What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Apparently my phone is low on memory, and can't upload pics. Hopefully the link works.

Khaki set from 1918, head looks to be in decent condition. Handle is hella split and in pieces. Case is in decent shape. Missing mirror.

I'm not really sure what to do with this set.

 

But the historical value! And swapping in a handle from another set would destroy the "historical authenticity" of this set.

I mean, if you ignore the fact that this razor is unusable as is, slantification would obviously destroy it!

Seriously though, I'm going to have to think long and hard about this. I have no issues with slanting a razor, but a WWI era set...eh.

 

True. I mean, from a certain perspective, you could even say I'm adding value to the remaining sets by withdrawing this one from the "collector's" market.

 

Drop in a Chevy 327 small block with edelbrock manifolds and a Holley 6 pot with progressive linkage (car runs off the two barrel carb, and opens up the other four when you put the pedal down).

It makes for a good time.

 

I'll clean it up, pair it with the good handle from the other razor, and flog it on the BST here. I'll give people the option of slanting it or not, and I'll price the razor high enough to do it for free.

That way I can make the "save the razors" crowd happy. They have the opportunity to rescue a decent moderately collectible and historically interesting razor from my "wanton destruction."

The rest of us will get to shave with the razor the serviceman that once owned it wished he was issued. Everybody's happy.

If I decide to go that route, I'll give you first dibs.

 

That's going to wind up in a passaround somewhere.
