Thread: Found these auctions on ebay.

First one is for anyone adventurous enough.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Straight-Razor-L...3286.m20.l1116

At $5 per razor... not sure you could go too wrong.

And this one. Is that a microtome on the top? I really hate getting microtomes. Ruins my day.

The second lot looks much more promising than the first.

None look like microtomes to me, but I could be wrong.

I actually bought a microtome on purpose, just to see if I could get her to shave. I intend to keep her, if and when that day comes, but I have other blades that I'm more interested in working on at the moment.

I got a microtome to shave. Taped the wedge side with 4 layers of tape and it actually did shave. I was impressed with myself. But it didn't shave all that good, so now she's sitting on my desk waiting for someone to come whisk her away. And then I bought another micro that I thought was a meat chopper. While it was certainly a chopper, it was still a microtome. I think receiving that blade really put me off re microtomes. I think I'm just bitter.

The second is darn cheap. W&B alone is worth 2x that after restoration.

To me it looks more like $40/razor.

I don't see a microtome there, but you can always ask for better pictures.
