What’s new to you?

I couldn't remember how my old blades worked in a Wilkinson Sticky, so I picked one up, to add a vintage touch to my rotation.

A Pretty Clean and in Great Condition Red tip with case. Case might clean up with a little Polish.

What gets my Goat a little is that from EBAY they ship a Plastic case in a yellow Mailer and not a box to Protect it a little more. Just me.

Yeah, I'd say you got VERY lucky getting it (the case) intact.

Nice score though!!

100%. That should have been in a box. Too easy for those envelopes to get crushed. And the razor should have had a layer of bubble wrap to keep it tight inside the case to keep it from bouncing around. You got lucky. I always let the sellers know when their packing is below par.

I do two and I did.

very nice.

I always have a problem with the way stuff gets shipped too... I mean I understand it's cheaper and the seller gets to increase their profit margin but there is a higher risk of damage in shipping.... On another subject about red tip razors , I have a red tip also but it didn't come with a case but I put it into a case I had laying around from one of those cheap china razors ( those aliexpress tto cheapies for like a dollar with plastic case...) I mean it doesnt say gillette and is blue but other than that it works great....
Anyway Nice score you got there....

@MarkB Thank you ☺️
For whatever reason that squat bottom always looked like it would be comfortable to me (maybe a sort of une belle laide sort of thing) and thankfully it is!
