Thread: Smiling Blade Swayback Sheffield B Worth & Sons - I've never seen one like it:

I'm paring down my collection to a handful of smaller wedges, a few hollow grounds, coticules and thuringians. I loved collecting razors and such but have not had the time to comb the antique stores diligently like I used to so my collection has gathered dust for too long. Home repairs and other interests with greater pull have won out...

It's been hard in a way to part with them but, they're just things. Rather than keep the best, I decided to make it sting a bit for me. With that in mind, I'm going to be putting up my 3x8 Coticule natural combo. That will hurt to say goodbye!

Tell ya what Jimmy,I am 66 yrs old,Mentally I am 22, physically I am 94.I have used and abused my body all my life..
My wife has instructions,when I die my obit will read:Bill Barber,lived a full life,cause of death was Excess.
I am to be cremated, my ashes(actualy chunks of calcium Carbonate)are to be spread on Hwy 5 here in Kali so all the cars and trucks can embed me in the tires and take me all around the country,places I always wanted to visit.
All my razors,hones,strops, brushs will be sent to one SRP member ( a great friend)
In the words of the immortal Waylon Jenninigs, I may be used, but I am not used up YET

I just want that glow in the dark stone you have pix lol....thatd give me something to use/conversation piece with customers at my shop, but I'll probably die first anyways...4 females in my house is a sure sign of an early exit from this life...

Just FYI, this is how ChrisL packs a razor for shipping (razor pulled out of the middle of the green bubblewrap). "Thorough" does not do it justice. As the buyer, it is appreciated and will be reflected in feedback.
It arrived today, as gorgeous as it is online. I'll take good care of it while I have it. ...as others here have been so nice to point out that "I can't take it with me". :-(

Though I will likely put an edge on it and take it to my face.

Anyway, nice blade, nice shipping ChrisL. The metal wedge was a nice and unexpected surprise too.

Because it's mine! I'm selling what I consider to be the finest razor in a dwindling collection.

I need the money for other things. If anyone has any specific questions about this razor, just PM me and I'll be happy to answer.

Wow - wish I had seen this earlier, what a truly fantastic gem! Totally unique and probably not to be seen in that condition....darn...missing this one hurts!

Must have been real tough to let that one go....sorry you had to part with it.

Watched that auction,great blade for sure.I think might have gone for more in the SRP classified.
Hate kicking ebay back 10% of the sale price
