    It arrived! Yes gentlemen: a genuine glod and silver razor right from China. A very very rare metal. It has the hues of an old copper penny. If I were a betting man, I would bet very fe, if any here ownes a razor wiht this rare combination. Ant at only $7.00

    Comes with a nice carry case:

    Not a very heavy razor. Stamped parts, not machined.

    Actually the blade alignes pretty evenly and the shave is not bad at all. I slapped in a Voskhod and got a DFS with three passes. All, in all, a great razor for the price and will serve well as a travel razor. One of these days; when and if, my cojones get large enough, I might even try out one of the blades....

    Shark blades, derby blades, some blades I have never heard of and a baili DE safety razor (it probably terrible but it's a cheap intro at around £7)

    I think my baili I'm waiting on is the pure silver version of this. It's being flown form China. Can't wait

    Added this razor to my waiting list and should be here in a week or so:

    A Leresche #51.
    It will be very interesting to see if it lives up to its almost insanely good reputation as a razor....

    Did you get a good deal or did you just go crazy, throw caution to the wind, and purchase at a high price?

    I ordered something almost identical 48hours ago. Had not seen your post and then thought, the case, design and layout looks identical only the branding is different and I get the impression that the silver coating will fall off after a matter of weeks. Should arrive in about 10 days.

    Same razor, just a different finish. Really give a good shave. Even if you toss the razor, the case is worth what you're paying.....

    It was a very fair price at the point where I will recoup the cost should I not like it and decide to sell it.
    Hopefully that won't happen :)

    I won the attached with no competing bids, so got the lot for under $20 shipped.

    One question...I just noticed the blade magazine that's pictured...I can't make out the red lettering on it. It looks like it might be Personna 74 but even if it is, the mag looks empty, sadly. Can anyone read it?
