It is in good condition, 3 or 4 new blades remain inside.
Case
:
The case is in great mechanical condition and nothing is broken or missing .
The spring springs, the latch latches and the hinges hinge.
There is the crazing that is visible in most of the photos. if you'd like to see more photos please ask I'd be happy to help.
I have also included a pack of 5 Gillette Platinum blades. brand new never opened factory sealed ready to be used in this razor or any standard de razor. I personally love these blades.
For buyers in the United States I will ship this priority mail you pick up the first and I will pay the rest. This will provide us with insurance and faster shipping. I always ship within 24 hours  of receiving cleared payment.
I have cleaned and sanitized the razor as well as the case.
I always try and  provide as many pictures as I can, from every angle imaginable and in good lighting.
I  try to find the flaws or anything that might be wrong with an item I am selling. My aim is to point them out to you the best I can.
I want your return business, not a one-time sale. I don't like unpleasant surprises and I don't imagine you do either.
And as always please take a good look at the pictures as they're part of the description and if you have any questions or would like to see more pictures just ask I'd be happy to help
I'm a wet shaving enthusiast and I collect old Barber Shop memorabilia.
I wish I could keep everything I find, but I can't and I have discovered that selling on eBay is a great way to help support  my hobby.
Through eBay I've been able to donate to St Jude's children's hospital and the ASPCA which is really cool in my opinion, they do amazing things!
I have many razors listed, please feel free to check those out. If you don't see what you are looking for ask and I may have it in stock but not listed yet. And if that is the case I'd be happy to get it listed so that you can look at it.
I will happily combine shipping when I can.
I do not do returns, there are 2 reasons for this.
#1 is sanitation.
I sell personal hygiene products.
#2
I do a thorough job of taking pictures from every angle and I always provide 12 photos. I generally never do auctions so you have plenty of time to look it over and to ask me questions. And I will be happy to send you additional photos upon request as many as you may need. I try to find the flaws as stated above and point them out to you, however I am human which is why it is critical that you look closely at the photographs and ask questions. Most of what I sell are very old they are going to have blemishes and or imperfections
Thanks for taking the time to check out my listing. -Tobin
