I was auto topped by 5 bucks but I don't doubt the winner had a ceiling of 500 or more. It's more than I could afford really, but sometimes your eyes just roll back and you enter zombie mode.

I don't understand why the Wade an Butcher razors are commanding such high prices. I picked up a 7/8 near wedge made by George Plum for £5(about $8) Old / Vintage Cut Throat Razor - George Plum Razor "The Plum" | eBay it is almost identical to a Wade and Butcher but costs a fraction of the price.
I have no doubt they are fine razors but why are they so much more than other razor manufacturers ? Is it just a simple case of buying a name ?
Attachment 172688 I thought this razor was a pretty good deal. Then began the honing.....I like bevels that you are barely able to see.....I have no idea how to get there from here. I had been using 3 layers of tape on a 600 Chosera then dropped to 2 layers on a 1K when I thought I was closer, but the razor looks like it was honed by multiple people each group taking a side......seller asked $45.00 for it, I asked if the price was firm...he said how about $38.00. I was pretty happy then, now I am deep in frustration and agitation. I completely understand the zombie mode and add that there are other land mines to step on in this game.
Attachment 172696After hours....bevel a long way from where I want to be.......ugh.
Sorry, could not figure out how to delete fuzzy pic.
Thanks Bob, but the heel has no edge whatsoever.
Good looking piece, you could sell that for $300+ all day long.
