    I've been watching this one to see how far it would go. I know what something is worth is what someone will pay but sometimes I wonder. eBay no. 201054008239 is over 400.00 now and I believe will hit 500. thought ya'll would like to see it.

    I rest my case.

    I'm a big fan of W&B's, but that's basically an everyday, run of the mill W&B, hugely over priced in my opinion. But the market bears what it will. It's not even a Celebrated Hollow Ground, or an FBU. Here's one I got for half that price, it's also a 7/8:

    id much rather have yours, its beautiful! the one in the listing has been reground, very well I might add, but his razors almost always go higher than the majority of the market for some reason. I believe its Cedrick? from coticule.be, must have a sizeable following. I bid on his items from time to time and have never won once!

    Hey - he always has some gorgeous blades, really like the stuff he does, no question about it. And this one looks pretty NOS, so that may get the price it's going for, it does look awesome.

    He restores them and posts them for sale, all the more power to him! The market pays what the market pays...I wish him, like every seller, the best return in a fair market.

    But then again, I've bought blades here that others paid a third the price for several years ago, so I'm just as guilty...the market it the market!

    Hey Phrank, not to get the thread to far off topic but you seem like a well informed W&B man. In one of the posts above you alluded to a order of preference for different models of W&B. What is the general rarity/desirability of the models? I have a few in line to clean up, but would like to know more. TIA
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    Bear in mind, my preferences are mine, and everyone has there own favorites, both in models and grinds....but my Holy Grail, aside from some W&B specials, is a spike point, 9/8 or above, Hollow Ground, For Barbers Use...I have one like that, and three others the same with the notches, not my favorites, but gorgeous blades nonetheless.
