This is the same razor listed on previous Ebay Auction. Buyer had shipping issue due to their location and asked me to cancel purchase.
I have up for sale a very rare and excellent razor in very good condition. There are a few minor scratches but that is to be expected for something this age. This is the Gibbs no. 17, all original and with extras, such as a spare 85mm brass handle with adapter from Razor Sharp Fittings on Etsy (doesn’t require modification of the razor to use) an...d a spare black handle from Frugal Shave on Etsy. The razor was bought 2 months ago from OSSBrocante, a well respected safety razor business on Etsy. Razor was shipped from France. I’m also including a punch to modify the razor blades. Of course, this also includes the Gibbs Blade Bank and a small holder containing a few original razors. This is truly a remarkable razor, well sought after and considered one of the finest smoothest shaving razors ever made. The design has not been replicated with a modern razor, although some newer stainless steel models come close, any search on Shave forums about this razor reveals it has no equal currently in the shaving world for smoothness and adjustability and efficiency. They truly don’t make them like this anymore. I am shipping this from overseas where I am currently located but will keep the cost of shipping the same. Just anticipate a 2-3 week delivery time frame. Please ask if you would like additional pics or have any questions. The price is high, I understand. However, look at the rising value of these razors and what they sell for. Also the brass handle greatly improves the shaving experience, it has an additional spare plastic handle to keep the original from suffering wear and tear from daily use, and a hole punch is necessary to modify the razors to fit. Thanks! No returns accepted so please ask if you have any questions or want additional pictures, etc. I have a 100% seller rating on EBay.
