    Robert Doyle is selling some gems out of his collection which might be the World's finest as far as early blades.... I can't buy them all.....

    Do they not ship? I didn't see anything on the website about it but each item says where they are to pick it up.

    They mention several shipping options. The majority of these items will be purchased the world over...it would be fun to be in the auction setting proper and view and handle the items personally...plus to see who shows up, and to meet Mr. Doyle himself. I'm only bidding on a couple items but will watch each lot with great interest.

    For those who might not be familiar with Robert Doyle, he wrote "Collecting Straight Razors" in 1980 and "Celluloid Handle Guide for Straight Razor Collectors" in 2005. He has been an auctioneer for decades and a straight razor collector.

    I doubt if he is a straight razor shaver but I don't know for sure. The first of his books is the best one I have found on the subject with many photos. There is no focus on brands but more on history in general and more of a focus on fancy scales.

    The more recent book on celluloid scales was a disappointment to me. The book is chock full of beautiful photos of fancy celluloid scales without showing the blades. Sort of indicative of a guy for whom the shave is not the primary attraction. Anyway, as nice as some of those stub tails are to us, the stuff he is selling in those listings is nowhere near as nice as some of those shown in his two books. He is keeping the primo stuff .... but can't blame him, wouldn't we all do the same ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Definitely want to get one of these. I don't really have any older blades. I don't want to bid against you guys. Is there a procedure to this?
