    For a razor that rare - boxed - in that condition... the price seems OK.
    Almost $3300 more than I'd be willing to pay, but I don't do DE. :p
    A very nice piece of razor history though...

    If I spent $3,302 on a razor for my collection I’d probably use it once and just put it on a shelf. If I spent $3,302 on a guitar for my collection I’d enjoy using it every day.

    Yes, and even when used consistently they still need regular maintenance in order to remain functional.

    I know the Techmatics that people are used to seeing, but, Mr Razor doesn't have this one on his site.

    Yep, I missed it on his website. Looks like an attempt into injectors.

    Prelude? Injectors predate this razor by decades. A late and failed attempt by Gillette to jump onto the injector band wagon.

    I meant Gillette attempt. Corrected.

    It is a pre production variant imho, sadly incomplete.

    A double edge injector.

    Just when I thought I'd seen it all.
