I checked the mail today and found this razor I won on eBay. It is marked Wilbert Cutlery Chicago on the tang, and Silver King is etched on the blade. I paid a total of 20.51 including shipping, so how did I do ?

I'd say you did very well - I have a Wilbert Pearl with custom wood scales and its a great shaver!! Twenty bucks is a drop in the bucket for a nice blade like that IMHO! :tu
Sweet ! I hadn't heard of the brand, but it looked pretty cool so I thought I would take a chance.
The blade is really much cleaner than it looks in the pic - I need some practice with the camera - and it has very little hone wear.
I honed it a bit on my 4k/8k Norton and finished on a pasted strop, and it passed HHT easily, so I think it may get a shave test tomorrow.
Sometimes I wish my whiskers would grow faster. Sigh...
I know the feeling! I really like the shave I get from mine, hope you like yours as well!Quote:

That a French Point on yours Juto? I can't tell if it is, or if the camera angle is screwin' with my eyes.
Yep, it is. That was actually what caught my eye first. I have a few spikes, and one W&B with a barber's notch, but this is my first oblique.Quote:

Nice razor though!
Looks like a nice snag for $20 - CONGRATS
I detect some prejudice against the French? Remember; going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion.Quote:

It'll be more than $20 though!! LOL
(probably more like $85 shipped - give or take)
