    Default Silver, tortoise, and rayskin

    A certain auction house recently had another batch of razors, and some of these seemed to fly under the radar. This was one of them. I bid without seeing the included razor beyond what stuck out, and am pleasantly surprised. It is a mid 1700s etui made of wood, silver and shagreen (rayskin). It holds a number of implements, including knives, a needle, a corkscrew, tweezers, and of course a razor. The condition of everything is really exceptional.

    Plus, as a bonus the lot came with three sterling brushes.

    Why am I left with the impression I would have to "hock" my airplane to buy something like that?

    The whole set plus the brushes cost less than a lot of WB Celebrated FBU go for on ebay, so there's that...
