EKS straight and TV Special for sale

[smithismund]

I've decided I have to part with a few items as shaving gear is taking over my flat.

First up is a nice EKS 5/8 round point in silver steel. The bone scales are extremely clean and the blade is tight and central. As far as I can tell the blade has never been out of the scales and I just gave it a minor clean and polish when I bought it. Hone wear is quite light. The blade isn't quite perfect, there is some light pitting on both sides but it doesn't affect the edge. I've tried to show this in the hpotos,.
I'm reluctant to claim shave readiness in such exalted company, but I get a good shave off this pretty little razor.
Price is £25 including signed for post in the UK. SOLD thanks!

Also a 58 Gillette TV Special. Generally nice condition. Some water marks inside the head where a blade was left in and a tiny bit of plate loss where the flare tip winds into the handle. The rest of the plating is very good and, being rhodium, nice and shiny. Please see photos for details. £15 including signed for post in the UK. Sold thanks.

Merry Xmas

Andy

It's a decent little shaver, but I'm not a big DE fan so I don't have much to compare it to. I got it in a bundle a couple of years ago. The TTO is very smooth and it looks very bright and shiny with the minor flaws mentioned above. In practice the bit of plate loss is not really visible as it hidden away in the gap between the TTO knob and the rest of the handle.
Just PM me if you are interested.
