Watch out for this one!
Just spotted this on the bay, and thought I would warn the newbies...
Vintage WB Speed Hamburg Hollow Ground England Bovine Horn Straight Razor 5 8" | eBay
Its plain to see the burn marks where this poor razor was put to a buffer in order to clean it up. It will NEVER be usable again as it is now. This is where the risks of buying come to play. Was this buffed to death by the seller? or by whomever the seller obtained the razors from? Were the other razors for sale also buffed to death? Just because they are not showing the blue, does not mean they were not handled improperly. I myself would have strong reservations and want a return policy before considering a purchase.

Good catch, thanks for the heads up ! :tu

I have seen some rainbow patina, but that is really dark and the fact that it is in the same spot on both sides makes it even more suspicious. Doesn't seem like it was taking to the buffers from the looks of the rest of the blade, but rather a flame put to it. Either way it isn't one I would be willing to take a chance on.

Chipped and burnt, just like my morning toast.
