Well the wife is going to kill me... Stright Razors ! 1 Lot ! Must See ! - eBay (item 320522157848 end time Apr-30-10 16:49:04 PDT)
Looks like i have new stuff to work with for a couple months :) I jumped on this for the old bugger but it seems to have a few nice pieces in it... and some scraps :p
Congrats,
Seems that you don't have to buy more razors at least for a month or two. You will have enough projects to work on your own. Rad, maybe :shrug:
Not bad score with that many razors.
great buy, should keep you busy for a while!
Don't tell her what you paid for the lot. Just tell her what you paid per razor.
Oh, and never tell her how many are in that lot.
Are they worth dying for? In the world of RAD and str8 razor shaving, that's all that really counts.
My advice-show her 3 of the razors, take your wife to the mall, and buy her something nice. One is very interesting to me; looks about 1820 vintage and has stag scales, if my eyes do not deceive me. You don't see those very often. That haul will keep you busy for a while! Hope there are some unexpected treasures in it.
Nice haul! I'm looking forward to seeing some of the show up here soon!
But oh, what a way to go!!! Nice score, looks like there may be a few gems in that lot.
you did great job. Congratulations.
you will be fine just work on them and make they useful gl.
A moment of silence for our soon to be dearly departed..... ..... ...... .... .... ...
They say that there's this place down by the crossroads where they can make this whole "death and mortal destruction" problem go away:deal:, but you may have to end up in a guitar solo battle with steve Vai... up to you
Congrats on the score. The price is very reasonable. If you get just 2 very good razors out of it then you are ahead of the game.:)
Very excited about getting my hands on them :) I started digging out my tools (ya she knows somethings up now) I see a few lost causes but they will lent their parts to the rest :)
Some will show up here for sure as I don't need that many in my rotation, plus if I can break even on a few restores all the better haha (read as saving my butt :p )..
Can't wait to see what make that early 1800's is, looks SOOO much like my Clark N Hall. No clue what those handles are just yet but they are ugly buggers. If they are plastic they are going away, if bone... nuts... have to see when they get here :p
There are indeed some diamonds in the rough there. My standard tactic with SWMBO is to show her the prices of brand new straights then tell her to be thankful I'm picking up beaters at a fraction of the cost. If that doesn't work the second wave is to remind her of most of the other middle aged fat guys that have custom built choppers, Porsche Boxsters, and girfriends half their age. All I want is a few, ok few dozen, well, few hundred, beat up old straight razors to tinker around with. What's the harm really? I mean honestly, if all the bills are still getting paid and no one is starving what's the harm of having a bit of fun.
Well, other than the one that looks like a jack knife, and the other broad blade ancient razor, I think you did fine.
Tell her you are going to sell five of them to me and make a good profit, then take her out to dinner. I'll cover for you.
LOL So helpful :p
I'm looking for some good Mothersday stuff, if I get it before she finds out about the (several) auctions I won, she can't say it was a reactionary gift :) ... Can she :p LOL thats when the Asagi will pop up I bet :p
Ah the balancing act of married life :p At least I'm not buying as many guns as I used to... Not that CA will let me anylonger :(
I know that feeling all to well. Just beat her to the mailbox!!
Not sure about how your wife feels about Jewelry but normally I can get away with almost anything as long as I have a piece of Jewelry lined up for my wife. Though lately she has taken to going to the local spas for manicures and pedicures so I might be able to do spa gift certificates in the near future.Quote:

I can't figure out if that one conical piece with a folding blade is a torture device or a medieval nose hair trimmer (insert the cone into nostril and rotate blade back and forth several times).:hmmm:

haha Ya a few items for the junk box :p reminds me it's getting full, have to list it one of these days... all those DE's and single edge razors need to go away :p
Whoot, Box Arrived!!!!
Sorry to say the scales on the old bugger are a split pair of branches... and what looks like puter nails... Their HUGE...
Some good stuff here and some death bed items but nothing fully unexpected, was still sad to see the W&B Bow with 2 cracks... Not fully out of the realm of being ground out creating a long tang look as the rest of it looks great. The IXL has a small chip but may be a bugger to get out as it's a near wedge :(
I'm taking pictures today befor I clean them up, Lots to do :)
