    That auction house is tough. Shipping all separately instead of combining. OTOH, I guess with the volume they are dealing in it is understandable.

    Great collection there Zak. I've never gone after the pressed horn on the bay because the collectors of PH scales are serious about their razors. Deep pockets and ain't afraid to dig down into them from what I've observed.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The separate shipping thing was an administrative weirdness. The absentee bid was technically done through a third party website. All the others got FedEx'd in one big old bundle.

    And yeah, I did a showdown on a particularly nice pressed horn razor through ebay. It remains the single most expensive razor I've bought.

    (Though in this auction I bid way, way higher on that gilt Rodgers pair, I just got outbid)

    Here's my loot from the auction. Already resold the one in bad shape. Wostenholm diminutive travel razor, in pressed horn scales "Fame" and "Hope". A small piece, real joy to have.
