What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Now that's pretty! It counts in my book.

 

When he starts to really know how to use it, I'll send him a three piece. Either a Tech or DE89 type razor.

 

Pre war Tech or an English Tech and some Stirling soap would be great for Christmas.

I'm still enjoying my Schick Krona I recently pick up. Inexpensive and great for travel as well.

 

It usually starts with this phrase ... "I was poking around on ebay ...."

Well same here, and I found this sad little razor. It happen to be my birth year and quarter, so I took pity on it and got it for a song.



Probably gonna send it to Cap Murphy for some TLC.

 

You ordered some good stuff! Yeah, I really need to cut back, I can add a razor but nothing else, slow down 17.

 

Get hold of him, I was surprised how little money he charged!

 

I have an Ikon razor on the way, too. That's on here a couple of pages back. After that, I might be able to go through the end of the year without any additions.

 

BTW how does one contact him?

Which iKon did you get?

 

B1 Standard head. It looks like a stainless, and B1 coated, version of their Shavecraft Tech head. OSS handle.

 

Thank you, I contacted him and may have him service two of my razors.

 

What are his prices like?

Very reasonable, varies to what is needed to be done.

 

Nope, that's against the rules. You'll have to send it to me now.

 

Nope, nope, If he breaks the rules, he has to send it to @RyX Moderators have to assess it for value.

 

Humm, as much as I'd like to have a Toggle in my den, I'd pass. I've read the history of The Toggle. They were experimental from start to finish. When all the Beta Testing was done, and the results considered that information was used to build Model #195 - the Fat Boy. Toggles are interesting, and don't get me wrong, I'd like to own one, but knowing their history & seeing the prices... I like my ($5.00 at an antique store ) Fatty.

 

So, you've assessed the value at... less than $5?

 

Not "replacement value". It's a relative thing though. For folks that can afford to invest in a NOS cased unit I'd expect the "value" to be about what they pay for theirs. If I found a beat up, damaged plating, stuck adjuster Toggle without a case I don't think I'd pass it up for a five spot. There's too much potential resale value, after repairs were done.

 

I think back at all the Fat Boys, Slims, Toggles, and Schick Automatics (A,B,C) I've had in my hands and thought were just junk; it could make me sick. But I remember ... I once was blind, but know I see .....
