I just won a 1970 P2 Gillette super adjustable-Black Beauty on that auction site. It's my birth year razor, and judging by the pictures it looks to be in really nice shape, and it's the short handle which is what I preferred. I know I over paid ($47) but I don't care. I lost out on one about a month ago because I couldn't re bid in time and lost it at the last second. I want going to lose another one! Anyway, I just wanted to let all you RAD infected brothers and sisters out there know that I made a score. Only you guys can appreciate this story. If I tell anyone else, they'll have me committed!
Nice. Super adjustables really seem to be bringing some hefty prices. I've been trying to get hold of one myself and had no luck. Congrats.
Yeah, you're right. There's a couple out there right now that look terrible, yet they're getting top dollar for them. I guess the wet shaving secret is out, and people are capitalizing. Supply and demand, baby. God Bless America!
I have noticed that also, razors that I was buying for $7-8 a few months ago are going for $14-20 now.
Yeah I notice the slims are going for much more than they were a few months ago. Picked one up for $15 now they are going for in the higher $20's. Congrats on getting yourself a birth year razor.
I paid about that for mine, and I think I know who you bought it from. Was there a pack of shark blades in the pic? Your gonna love it!
Congrats. What is the site for the auction? I think that's a pretty good idea to get one that is your birth year.
I went to ebay and found one. Is there another auction site that you all use? Here is a birthyear razor for me. Tell me what you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Vintag...398?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c57d79b6 I don't even have my first razor. I can see that this is going to be addicting.
Congrats Heloguy. Those are good razors. I bought one (long handle) about 8 months ago and I love it. I have noticed that the prices have gone up a fair bit, since I got mine.
No shark blades. It's coming from Washington state. The seller shipped it already. I'm hoping to shave with it this weekend.
Thanks. It was also the 2nd quarter.(P2) I passed on quite a few P3's and P1's going to get it exactly right. Almost forgot, it was Ebay.
I'm gonna wait until I get back from deployment. Also, got my EJ89LBL in today!!! I will let you all know how it goes.
keep safe out there. WATCH YOUR BACK!!! And make sure you are very careful if you are wet shaving underway. you might come out the head looking like a pepperoni pizza if there are rough seas.
