    I seriously need to stay off eBay until I can get my RAD back under control! This afternoon, I was checking my vintage razor saved search for newly listed items and ended up buying this for $15.99 plus free shipping:

    A B-type Schick Repeater. The listing also mentions a case but in was not shown in the photos.

    This is my first Repeating Razor. Is that finish silver or nickel? Also, probably a stupid question, but did I do okay on the price?

    I believe it’s silver. I had a silver one . Also the price is a steal. If you needed to flip it you would easily get your money back. The only draw back is loading.

    A beautiful L'Essor. Not cheap but eBay discount today almost covers the outrageous shipping from France.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Not directly shave related, but I needed a couple smaller chisels and found these for a nice price.

    Yes, from what I've now read, it is apparently a B1 and is Sterling Silver. There were only two pictures with the listing (which weren't the greatest), but it doesn't look like there's a lot of tarnish, just the usual razor crud. As for the price, I honestly was surprised that the listing lasted as long as it did (about 30 minutes). I couldn't recall one that inexpensive before and jumped on it. :)

    Great price.

    It is silver plated. It will clean up very nicely.

    I saw that and it did look easy.

    I have to admit that I've been wanting one since pretty early in my journey, back when people like @twhite and @Rufus T. were raving about them, but they always seemed to be a bit more than I wanted to spend on a single razor. Hopefully, this one will not have any hidden issues.

    I saw very crusty FatBoy with an unknown date; made the seller an offer that was accepted. :happy108:

    I found it hard to resist the price. It's number four for me ... have a 58 and two 59s ... I'll be giving a 59 to my oldest son ... not sure what I'll do with this one. :)

    They are sold as imperfect but for $6.99 a piece I can live with it.
    Groomatorium is moving their location to Ohio and getting rid of whatever they could.

    I’m expecting two different shipments from Stirling. The first is aftershaves, and the second is brushes............at least that’s what I remember ordering. I think there’s some shampoo bars and a couple shaving soaps too.

    Shipping is routed all over the place, so it’s always a small surprise when I forget what I ordered.:)

    I needed a WWII Tech case and found this. It needs re-lining and was at a very good price. The razor is just a plus as the cost with shipping was actually lower than just for a case by itself.

    I am waiting for the end of December! I haven’t shaved in 2 months, because I had to grown a scruff for a stage play I was in, cast as a hobo. Now I have been cast as a Santa type figure for a Christmas show, and I need this beard to be full bloom by the end of November...

    I miss shaving... :(
