Thread: taylors1000 razors for sale on ebay

Portal, any chance of you ending the auction early on one of those dual sets?

Sorry I don’t end the sales early it wouldn’t be fair to the others that may be interested.

you have some very nice razors listed

Tony's definitely been a source of great deals. Never found any flaws in his descriptions and his photos are highly detailed. Got my first and best shaver from him (ironically, another TEW)

Any chance you'll be listing any larger TEW's?

Like maybe a 6/8?

Looks like a very nice pair of 6/8 Kropp razors. This brand of razors doesn't receive the respect they deserve in my opinion.

Now its funny you should ask that! Because I have a Taylors1000 6/8” with Ivory scales.
What happened was I got this razor in good condition but the scales were cracked & put into the restore box. Then I got a razor that was too small for its ivory scales & it just didn’t look right so I moved them to the Taylors & they look fine. I will be listing it next week with my last boxed pair of Ivory scaled razors, Roll on the next fair!

I was watching the chas clements pr, but then didn't get back to them in time! Can you tell us anything extra about the WR Humphreys? I mean, various makers names mean little to me, I'm too much a noob, but I like the look of them, and am already getting the 'buy a big collection' itching.....

Perhaps to save yr modesty someone else would like to tell me how wonderful a make they are....you yourself are obviously highly esteemed from the previous posts in the thread

thanks

W.R.Humphreys & Co. of Sheffield. show quite a bit on Google under metalware including Silver & Silver plate.

And while I am here I have listed 3 razors tonight with another 12 to list through next week, there is a boxed pair of F. linnaker with worked backs & an unnamed 7/8” chopper that will probably go cheap for someone who hasn’t had the pleasure.
