Is the dollar that weak?
Or someone thinks it's the key to unlock the holy grail?

Yes.
The heart wants what the heart wants and some wallets are deeper than others. The thing is this guy is constantly selling Fillies so eventually everyone who wants one will get theirs and then the bidding wars will end and then one of those babies will be mine! Oh yes, my plan for world domination, I mean, my plan for getting a NOS Filly is perfect! |

And naturally, world domination is best accomplished with a close comfortable shave!

Actually, I think I read somewhere that the dollar has been rallying against the Euro this week. Might have been in a feverish dream littered with NOS Puma Golds and custom Livis....

I'm also going to venture a guess that Philly's are getting a lot of "press" recently, and that will always inflate the selling prices of a razor. I've noticed (and I'm sure you all have as well) the same thing happened with Ducks and Friodurs.
PS the dollar seems to be making something of a comeback...unless it's fallen since I last looked (which was about a week ago)

Check it out this morning. This is bizarre. I wonder if the bidding is legit and if the seller will get paid?

Absolute insanity. Its up to 680.00 now...I think I would go with a Livi in ivory and damascus for a few dollars more. Or a two day set of Puma Golds.

There's no way I'd spend that kind of money on any razor. My three best shavers in my rotation were all under $30.

It's hard to tell with Ebay's new security policy. But the high bidder (if it's the same person) was bidding up another seller's auction the other day. I don't think it's shill bidding.

Yes it makes sense. Those are collectors going after that and its a very unusual model rarely seen. I wouldn't pay more than $80.00 for it but I'm not a collector (except for DD's that is)

Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

$695 for a non-custom razor?
A fool and his money are soon partying. |
