Was looking at these:
Lot 16 Vintage Antique Barber Shop Straight Edge Razors - eBay (item 150330877403 end time Mar-07-09 17:45:18 PST)

Could pay off... price per razor isn't all that bad. Then again, pics aren't great either, and that is a fair bit of money to front (at least, IMO).
The problem is I already have a collection. Looks like most people thought it's a bit too much, but the seller sold few of the smaller lots (cheaper per razor on those as well).
It's a $175 gamble in my book and I'm trying to avoid these.
I noticed their safety razor lot is quite expensive too (not sure about current prices, but I sold a couple of these travel gillettes at $10/piece individually in a travel cases too). I'd say the seller has no idea and is just slapping random prices.
I actually picked up one of the smaller lots. It was $9 per razor, and there were some nice names in there. Again, photo's weren't great, but I thought the blades looked pretty good. My main concern is that only one side of each can be seen. But I figure even if only three turn out to be any good, that's still worth it.

Oh well, at least I got a couple of big meat choppers in the deal.
I don't follow. The linked auction didn't sell. Did you buy a different lot from that seller or something?Quote:

Ah, I had been looking at that set as well, but decided one was enough. Your lot actually has better pics than the one I got, and I don't think you overpaid. What is that, about $15 pre razor? Should be totally worth it; there are some nice blades in there.
Yeah, should be a good buy in the end. I'm just low on time at the end of this week so... : \ Probalby not the smartest decision I've made. Lol.
I wish there were a pic of the entire set in one pic, so I could tell if I got 2 meat choppers or just one. : P
I'm pretty sure there are two; in the first column last and second to last pictures the blades have different tangs/spines (one is a humpback and the other is straight) and the stain patterns are different.
Got it in today, that was PDQ. I am a happy collection owner! I got 2 choppers! Not W&B, I'll have to work on that, but they are beefy and wedgy. One has a picture of George Washington and the other is Diamond steel. Not only that, but I got a W&B 13/16 and a Reynolds 13/16 and a Boker. The rest were all Sheffield or German blades. All in all, a PD good deal. Pics will come eventually. The GW razor is up though, in the king george thread.
I lied, took pics of the other chopper too.
