Depends - I don't know how much they're worth,. but, if you fancy trying it I'd suggest having it replated first. Here's a link to an article over on B&B that might help you decide whether it's likely to work well for you:

Dave will replate it in Nickel for £20.

Thanks very much for the link Chris. I had seen the article before, but now it helps put things into perspective. In particular the part that mentions razor burn if too much pressure is applied!

That NEW head is the best of the bunch IMO.

It's definitely worth getting it replated as those heads are quite difficult to come by compared to US and other UK NEW's.
They made two types of ball-end handle for them one with a hollow end and one without. I'm not sure from your picture if yours is hollow-ended or not?
The value if the razor is around £25 in it's current state IMO.
Sure is Chris, as I discovered earlier this week. Have been treating it with more respect now!chrisbell said:It's one (like the Slant) for careful concentration!
