Just saw this pop up on the bay and it was in a price range that I could justify buying it, so I couldn't resist myself. Ebay has been killing my bank account this month. So I'm now going to have to see if I can find a self help group. Seriously I'm going to be homeless if this keeps up.
Absolutely beautiful razor. Well, how much did it hurt the wallet? I've been looking for a deal on one for a while.
a NB '16 group and thread do still exist ... i'd say there are 20-ish folks still in btw, nice! lookin razor ...
Beautiful OC, I love the handle!!! I'm glad you found one at a good price. Don't worry, hang in there, the RAD will slow down...eventually. It did for me at least, but not until I got over a hundred razors. I always thought that NB thing was just a myth. Does it really exist? There is no way I could go an entire year without buying a razor or at least something shave related. Of course at this point in my journey it's NEVER a question of need, only of DESIRE!!
I blew $200 on ebay and etsy in January...I didn't check my paypal statement until mid February. I'm not planning on looking at the February statement now ! NB March 2016 is about the only group I'd sign onto right now, but NO PROMISES...a deal's a deal. RAD, acquiring happiness <$50 at a time.
I wouldn't say I got a great deal, but I been waiting for one of these to be in my range. And this one had a BIN of $119.99, so I figured why not.
By June, I predict that there will only be one NB '16 participant standing... and s/he will be raised to mythical status. We're talking bigfoot and unicorn status, or perhaps even Keyser Söze level. We'll tell stories about them, but no one will know exactly who it is.
Its a Gillette Bulldog. They were made from 1914-1924. This one starts with a N and the numbers afterwards indicate it was made in the year 1920.
