    Nope, never seen one of those. I've seen quite a few with "Use with Ivory Soap" stamped into the top plate though. They are both old type's.

    It's an Old style. That kind of $ for an Old with a cracked up handle and loose ends is a bit much, unless I'm missing something special about it. I bought 2 just like them for 1.99 and 2.50 off evilbay with original boxes.

    Agreed. Thats the difference between us and the collector who will pay $100 just for the box this guy is selling. :D But that's good though! If the collector is happy, so am I. Lord knows, I wasted a lot of money over the years on hobbies that other people thought were stupid, :happy102 but made me happy.

    I picked this up at an antique shop in Romeo, MI last summer for $15. It looked unused to me.

    Here's the back of the box.

    And a better picture of the front.

    It seems as if the razor was free with the purchase of a tube of Palmolive shaving cream. Both for 35 cents? Looks like a deal, to me.

    The auctions are for Old types.. .however, they did have Palmolive NEW sets as well

    I had a NEW from a Palmolive set once upon a time. But I think that I either sold it or it was the one that got replated.

    Nicer looking razors than those spendy ones on ebay. Thanks for the pics guys!

    wonder if the cracked up expensive razors come with an epoxy kit or you have to buy your own......

    Glasgow Goodies consistantly has interesting items at prices that are a bit too high to tempt me...

    THe original post was A OLD type. With a cracked handle no less.// I dont think theres any difference in it being a Palmolive.

    On a related note, I just got my first Old. And i love it!! Feels so light its almost like a toy compared to my Futur, and its Much less agressive
