    Yep I saw them. There was a beautiful Greaves & Sons
    9/8+.
    And that wostenholm 9/8+. And then the W&B 9/8+.
    The W&B was darn near NOS. Same with the Greaves.
    I bid on all of them, mainly just to try. But I knew I wouldn't get them. Mainly I wanted the Greaves.
    If I didn't have so many bills and spent too much last month..
    Amazing to see one seller with 3 such pieces all at once. It will be a while before we see a Wosty and a Greaves like that.

    Yup I saw it, was in it for $325. Kinda glad I didn't win it because I would have been eating Ramen noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner for a month!

    Ten hours to go and it's just shy of $700 US (almost $900 CDN, the exchange rate is a killer right now).

    Incredible - wonder how much higher it will go - yes, the exchange rate is killer right now, even a puck of Williams is getting expensive.....

Say what you want, it's gorgeous and definitely in the 1 percentile of condition you'll ever see these in.
    Thats exactly what the seller didnt want to someone to point out the flaws on this razor, it was restored to be sold, make em shiny and bright for big bucks. Apparently he didn't feel (the seller) to fill the scales holes and protruding wedge.

    It may have flaws but it's the best I've ever seen up for auction.

    And you have to know, whoever is going to win this hasn't even bid yet
