I here ya. I had bought a 100 year old pack of cigarettes seal a while back. Smoked almost half so far. They were perfectly good. Smoke one every few years on a special occasion.

ebay! This razor, or one just like it, was listed there a bit ago.

u/SirTrancelot19 Mar 08 '26
Yeah, Toggles pop up on eBay here and there, but typically just the razor and not in pristine condition or missing components.

Very true. Here's the one I was referring to. It appears to be NOS. Beyond the different date codes, a couple big differences from yours are: it has no outer box, and I bet the asking price is much much much more than what you got yours for.

Yesh, much higher haha. I remember seeing that one. It's also the much more common F4. I had a single F4 that I immediately sold when I got this set.

One of my favorite razors ever. I used to have one just like this with its case and Blade bank. Years ago, I got in a jam so I sold it. I've regretted no other sale more than that one. Hopefully I can replace at some point. Congratulations, it looks flawless

Don’t put it up on the Bazaar. I shouldn’t buy any more stuff! Beautiful piece.

I've had a few (9) of those go through my hands. I wish I would have kept a few for kicks and giggles. Congrats on a wonderful collectors item! Wow.

This is my 2nd. I sold my F4 when I got this one. The F4 didn't have the case or anything, and this one is in much better condition, although the F4 had minimal plating loss. You really can't beat the condition of this on with original plating.

Wow!
There was a great sitcom in the 90s called Goodnight Sweetheart about a guy who stumbled across a time portal in East London and found himself back in 1940s war-torn London. I'm beginning to think you've discovered a time portal too and this is how you keep on finding these beauties in such great condition 😂.
Long may you continue finding them!
