Radimi

[Snowbeard]

Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to trade it.

Ha ha...I'm glad to hear you say that!

Confirms my opinion (and the opinion of some others) that it was indeed a nice one!

In this hobby, as well as a lot of other hobbies involving antiques (cars, etc.) I'm sure that most of us have found that we've traded away something that we wish we had back later. Or, even more frequently perhaps, that we have bought an item only to later see one that's "just a little bit better", or just a little bit (sometimes a lot) less money than we paid. Just goes with the territory, I think.

Cheers and thanks all, for the comments and the interest.

I've sold and bought back items in the past. These days, I only sell what I know I won't want back ormeanwhile have found in a better condition.

I am curious, what did you trade it for?
And why the regret now?

Can't remember, and it's not easy to find a razor as ugly as this. As I have a growing subset of Italian razors, including Radimi, it should have stayed at home.

Doesn't look like zamak to me, either brass or German silver.

Interesting. Reading about German Silver I see that its a copper alloy (as opposed to zamak being a zinc alloy), that it's hard, lightweight, corrosion resistant and considered by some as being of a higher quality than brass. Makes me rethink always equating "weight" with "quality" when it comes to razors. Thanks for the tip.

I love lightweight plastic razors, some tremendous shavers among them, so weight to me means probably the opposite of what it means for you. Do not like aluminum though.
