Every now and then I see a razor that I really want, and yesterday was such a day. The auction just ended, and I was outsniped. I hate being the first loser...

Buy it now :D
I must admit, the one you missed out on is the same style I've been hunting for a while
Someone wanted it more than you did. :) When I get out bid at the end I always think of the money I saved. Win or lose there is always going to be a next one .... as long as we're on the green side anyway.
I was watching it as well...such an outrageous tang! Hope it went to a good home, but that was too many $$$$$$. Oh well, missed razors are like taxis and women; there will be another one along soon!
Personally I don't like those double notched out tangs. Just the aesthetics of it. Someone else would find it attractive I know. That's why god made apples & oranges I suppose.
Yeah,I was in on that one too,Holli.Told you we had the same taste in blades.No,I didn't get it either.
Me too, I was out @ $50.00
I've got mine up on the bay now but it just has a thumb notch, these things seem like they're about a full generation older than the 1900's razors?
