    Well it depends on how you break it down. Actually CarrieM did that bargaining. She bought 2 razors ( a Joseph Rogers wedge w/ horn scales and an other engraved Big Ben on the blade) that were $20 each or two for $30. She was looking at the Red Ingun (It had crappy and broken wooded scales $10, Sclales were off a rusted and pitted Robeson for $5 from someone else) posted here on 4/24: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...erhood-10.html , the Escher, A small Belgian Combo and wat I think is a small Escher. She thought about it, put the Boker back and asked how much. The nice man put the Boker back in the group and said $30. I think he was asking $5 each for the hones.

    So, was every thing $5 each or did he give us the hones and Boker in for free?

    Now to be honest and fair here, The Boker really looked like poop and the Escher was very dirty. All I could tell was that it had a label on it and what looked like Hess thought the grime. It wasn't until we got it home and cleaned it up that I started getting excited. Due to the wear on the label I still wasn't 100% sure.

    We (CarrieM, JrJoeD and I) all like searching for shaving stuff so we go out antiquing and flea marketing a lot.

    You asked.

    Here are some pics of the other stuff that was purchased at the same time. I don't have a pic of the 'Big Ben' yet and I can't seem to put my hands on it just now to get the name off it.

    You asked.

    Wow, I kind of figured you got a good deal, and I have to admit I was curious when you said you wouldn't get into it, but now that you have, I think I'm going to be sick!

    What a fantastic deal. I bet it feels good, eh? Congrats

    Everything comes with some kind of cost. On EBay it's easy to see the cost because it is in dollars. Antique market and Flea Market finds may not cost as much in dollars but it does take a lot of time and there are more time than not that we go home with nothing or just stuff that takes a lot of work to bring to my level of satisfaction. There's a W&B in the gallery my son and I just finished restoring titled something like Ebony and Blood wood... That blade was all rusted and had really bad and broken scales. It cost 6 bucks in a local shop as it was. We put a lot of time and effort, not to mention cost of wood to get it to where it is now. It feels really great to find a super deal, but they are far and few between.

    Now if you really want to get sick ask how much the 7 day set we found cost us. I wont be that cruel as to tell but to wet your appetite I posted it here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...herhood-9.html
