I'm still happy with my Million Razor score, but a little big of kicking myself for not paying attention to my phone. Battery died while I was down at the barn, so my snipe did not go off and I missed a great lot.
This is the sort of bargain razor guys love. Was it anybody here lucky enough to snag them all?
Its nice to know there are still some bargains to be had. Dont give up guys!

That Henckels, that sweet Focus, the minty looking Genco.... My guess is the guy spent good money on good razors, but never knew how to maintain them (notice cheapy strop that I wouldnt let near any of my blades) Probably had some of the worst shaves of his life, and said "frack this, Mach8 for me!"Quote:

There will be other deals at least, good hunting.
I need to STOP hunting! I have way too many blades, and way too many bills to pay. :gaah:
I try to avoid looking at stuff on eBay. I have a ton. I got many many bargains and a few oops purchases. It’s good to see bargains out there. It gives hope to those that would like to collect without remargaging the house.
I've picked up razors for less than 5 bucks twice. Plus shipping. They needed work, but for a starting price i was amazed. That would have been a great bargain to get. Sorry you missed it.
Yup, this exactly!Quote:

Also two 7-day sets of my favorite shavers: Swedish framebacks by CV Heljestrand, if I do the quick math the average price per razor is 30 bucks, I gladly paid that price.
I avoid looking at ebay and the likes as well. Having 2 7day sets and a suehiro 20k helps a lot though.
It's an ongoing battle though, razors, hones, strops, brushes, soaps, etc. firstworldproblems n'at
I've noticed more bargains recently. Definitely much better than the post-Skyfall craze.
Anybody wondering, those razors are now for sale on Ebay, each one, individual, with decent photos. So if you ARE looking for a minty Genco or a Focus, they are out there to be had. I think the winner/seller is or was a member here.
lucky bastid!
There are definitely bargains out there. You just have to be on the constant lookout for them. Personally, I find it can be worth wading through the crap on Ebay. I found my two best bargains there.
1) In 2013 I grabbed a mid-1800s Sheffield razor dressed in genuine tortoiseshell for $16.59 shipped. Still can't believe that one.
2) Last year I nabbed a Wade & Butcher with sterling silver scales for $39.99 shipped. The seller must not have seen the "sterling" mark, which is inside the scales, and so listed it up with a ridiculously low buy-it-now.
An auction site that I wont mention has some good stuff every now and then, but new razor fans have found it and so my deals are not as good as they once were. I used to get blades last year for about ten bucks each. Just last week they had a nice FBU that went for 70 bucks. Last year, I would have gotten it for 25.
