I will also remove the rust and buff up but will leave in the condition received. I think that these razors are a bit special in that they were owned by these 2 men who were such authorities on straight razors. They are refered to all the time in our group. Since the passion for things from the past and history fuels alot of the reason we collect these razors. Money comes and money goes no matter how we use it. I think these razors are special and for me I'm proud to own them. they say the best time to buy something is when you can. I paid a bit to much for some of these but for what they bring to me on a personal level was money well spent.

And really that's what counts. You're happy? You think money well spent? Excellent!

A couple weekends ago I went to a big Antique Show and spent the day. Dropped a couple hundred bucks while I was there on razors. My wife asked me what I was going to do with THAT! I told her I felt I had already gotten the value of the money out of them. If I dumped the stuff in the trash, it was still money well spent. Going to dinner and a movie? Going to an amusement park for the day? Getting away for a night at a hotel? That can add up to some cash! I had a lot of fun and that was worth the $200. The fact that I had some residual razors left over, icing on the cake.
