Looking for Gibbs Adjustable razor, I'm located in the US

Patience is what it takes, I have seen people paying on ebay for British Gillette Aristocrat #15 whether OC or SB for $700 each, sure they came in original package and were in decent shape, while mine didn't came in original package, so so shape but I never cared for the packages and I paid for both of mine OC and SB $170 total with shipping.
Patience is a virtue and I got plenty of it ;-)

As the Rex stands now and until it’s issues are taken care of I wouldn’t even spend the $22 that Gibbs sold for in France on one. Which bye has to be the lowest I’ve seen a mint or near mint Gibbs Adjustable sell for and I’m always looking. One that was in just ok condition sold last week in France for 102 Euros. So I guess I look at it like why buy a razor at any price if it’s not a great shaver or of course you just want one cause it looks good or have an emotional attachment to it.all good bud Hey wasn't word going around that Rex issues were fixed with the latest batches?
Nice collection of Aristocrats you have there and I also have quite a nice collection of both British and US Aristocrats and I have a little OCD so I look for very minty ones as that’s my preference when it comes to Aristocrats and some I’ve gotten at what I’d call a bargain price and some I’ve paid good money for. I have a NIB # 15 that I paid $240 for but have no regrets as I love the looks of the carats especially if they have the barberpole handle.
Alls good I guess to each his own right!
