This Feather SS Razor is the first and only vintage Feather that I have ever seen. I have shaved with it three or four times and used it around the nose and mouth area more than that. It is excellent and a little more aggressive than the new Feather SS. The workmanship is beautiful and well done; as you can see it is shiny SS and not the matt finish of the new Feather currently sold. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Best regards, Doug
I saw one recently on ebay. It was a Japanese seller that lists a bunch of straights. It didn't say which metal it was made of, but the bidding was around $80 IIRC. That said, I've been using my Feather Portable recently and enjoying it.
is this the one you're referring to in the op? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120705065011&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Sweet Jeebus. That's the one I saw. It was no where near that price when I glanced by it. Here's a link to the old listing. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Vintage-Saf...423?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c41f6da7
should have snapped it up it -just appreciated by almost 700%. but then, everything that vendor is selling goes for some insane price- he's selling a sickle that normally sells for $10-20 for $86 + $14 shipping.
Yes it is the same razor. I have really enjoyed shaving with it but now I am almost afraid to keep using it. I have never shaved with a $500++ razor before....until now....:greet002 to me. Here are some more pictures>
I wouldn't worry too much. I strongly suspect that the $600 (counting shipping to the US) price was just nonsense. I was asking about that one on B&B too. I'm sure it's an excellent shaver, but that seller is probably just hoping for someone with more dollars than sense.
