The soft gold finish rules on this classic Old Type. A shiny top cap with subtle blemishes and faint smudges. The center post threads and stabilizer pins are in good shape. The open comb guard has a nice gold finish, subtle blemishes, and two end teeth are slightly toed inwards. The handle is in great condition with light blemishes on the neck, and excellent knurling. The minimal light fissures (PICS#16-17) on each end of the handle does not impact functionality of the razor, and is quite common with these handles. The handle threads properly into the cap and seats flush against the baseplate. It’s shave ready, and it has been cleaned and sanitized.
