something for the collectors

[flip-68]

this isn't something everyone would be interested in buying so i don't think i'm ruining anyone's secret ebay purchase.....

nice razor - anyone got one?

darwin of sheffield - cobalt steel

 

[Brianpilman]

That's a lot better price than the other Darwin on eBay that was listed today over 800 quid

That is a looker and a half, sadly already heading out of my price range. Charitable auction too, with such a valuable item.

the 800 is not the same one. it is a darwin adjustable 2 piece razor the rarest of the darwin family. the standard darwin (=fatboy) comparing the two piece adjustable darwin (=bottom dial)

link for the adjustable darwin

you have to twist the handle and by loosing it you can adjust the pressure of the blade. the arrow and the "adjustment-lines" will show you the angle of the blade

i predict it sells for £500+ the last few have

Already gone past my max bid

I was hoping it would fall under the radar, but no.

I LOVE the look of these razors, but they are so far beyond my means that I can only dream........ Unless I find one "in the wild". But my haul so far has been one plastic handled tech. Not promising.

I just went a little earlier. Still waiting for its arrival. (Earlier and a lot Less)

These things had my RAD itching like crazy a few days ago but thhe prices put me off a little. That said, my all stainless collection is definitely bereft of a Darwin, albeit of cobalt steel. But - a big but - do they shave well? Has anyone of us actually used one?

675pounds ... for a more ordinary darwin.. that adjustable one is one of the rarest razors you can get. therefore 1250 seems to be a reasonable deal

More than I've ever found out and about... Swansea is a desolate wasteland when it comes to wet shaving finds.

There is another one on ebay that was quite well hidden. Somebody informed the seller that he had in Darwin his sale and it is worth so much.Though, how the informer knew its true worth I don't know because you can't see its true condition. ( I know, someone on here will tell me it was them who told the seller)
I don't want to post the link in case anybody has their eye on it.

A thing of sheer beauty but so far beyond my reach it may as well be a mirage. Sigh.....
