    Aww shucks, thanks! :)
    Wow, I doubt they'll sell for $30 if I remember them correctly.

    A "Bigelo" Perkin razor.
    It hadn't sold at the previous amount of $60-70, so the seller re-listed it with the bidding starting at $30. It didn't sell there either, (because I forgot about it). I contacted the seller and offered to buy it off of him for $30, so he re-listed it at a $30 BIN and sent me a message. Whereupon, I snatched it up.

    I've been looking for one of these rare razors for the better part of four years. They always seem to end at over $100, which is more than I was willing to spend.

    Sellers, let this be a lesson to you. A simple spelling error...something as simple as forgetting one letter can cause your posting to go unnoticed.

    So without further ado, the Bigelow Parkin razor.

    Very neat - it's also rumored to be quite the good razor to use actually. Bonus :)

    Odd. Was he a brand new seller or did he have a decent history?

    No history at all buying or selling it was a red flag but I was blinded by the reflection of the gold in my eye

    The rascal! Don't be so hard on your self every seller has to have a first sale. Unfortunately in this case it looks like he proably had a devious plan to skip the country with your money and start a new life. A mysterious red headed woman was probably involved.

    You are paying a premium for good photographs, quality assurance, and brick and mortar overhead. I think most of those razors are purchased as gifts for men from their lady friends.

    A "Vintage Gillette Flare Tip TTO Date Code D-2 Double Edge Safety Razor". Crappy seller's pic, but I thought it had a neat handle.

    The TV specials are very nice razors. Cleaner looking than the regular super speeds.

    Another ebay score. Hopefully in as good of shape as it appears. (seller pics)
