    Default w&b american

    I'm going for this bad boy, my birthday present for next month if I get it.

    American Razor Beutiful Eagle etching on blade - eBay (item 280298448311 end time Jan-06-09 13:33:25 PST)

    cross your fingers for me. looks like it can be left as is, no sanding risking getting rid of etching. maybe in some faux tortouise or horn?

    You sure you want to tell razor people where there's a good deal on a razor or blade that's nice?

    should I have waited till after it ended? I figured the guys here were cool enough that anybody not already going after it wouldn't do that to a fellow member after seeing it.

    but I guess all it takes is one determined competitor. I'll wait next time till the auction is over.

    Since you stated that you wanted that blade I am certain that no member here who saw your post would've bid on it!
    That being said, there are a number of non members prowling the halls of SRP!

    yeah, i didnt' even think about the gawkers. i'll go from the approach that if I dont' get it I wasn't supposed to have it. besides, if I win it then I can't get a tattoo for my birthday, quite a dilemma!

    of course what to get for the tattoo is driving me nuts, too many choices, too few body parts, $$$. now if my two year old who seems pretty good with the crayons/markers keeps getting better....free tattoos in 16 years??

    That's a sweet blade. Did you win it?

    I kept an eye just to see how much it would go up. It didn't have "straight razor," "Wade," or "Butcher" in the title, but it seems people still found it.

    I guess I thought it would go for a bit more, but that final price is still more than I would have spent on it.

    I won! Thank God I won it for 82 bucks instead of the 120 I put in. I went away to lunch and was sitting there thining, man I hope it doesn't go all the way up.

    Am I missing something with these big W&B though? I saw one last week go for almost 200 bucks. one big reason i went for this one is the guy said when i contacted about size that it was 1 3/8" wide!!! by 5/16". It didn't look that big from the pics but it did look to have a larger tang on it. I have a 7/8" w&b that shaves like a dream but the tang is small.

    Wow, 1 3/8 is massive!!! Notice he didn't say that in the description. And, as I mentioned above, the title wasn't great. In some of the pictures there was, what looked to me, like some bad pitting; but with closeups at wide angels, it's hard to be sure. (I really don't think the pictures were very good)

    Oh, congrats!
