    Default Ebay Deal - Good Deal or Don't touch with a 10 foot stick

    Antique J.A. HENCKELS 7 Day STRAIGHT RAZOR Set Shreve Sterling Silver on Case | eBay

    Besides the one broken razor, do you see anything unrepairable? Maybe a nice 6 Day set?

    Thanks!

    There looks to be some deep corrossion on a couple and some chips on the edge of the one. I think you could get a decent 6 day set if you are willing to put in the work. The scales look like they need some tightening too, some of the wedges are rotated.

    I wouldn't pay more than $10 per razor, if even that much. They should all shave, except the cracked one, but that corrosion does look deep.

    One dead blade, 1 worn box, most blades rusty, some rust very close to cutting edge. Most scales have seen better days. If you got money to burn: bid as much as you like.

    That's exactly what I noticed. I don't think I would pull the trigger on that but that's just me. If you can get it for a decent price, it might be worth having two or three good ones. Good luck with whatever you decide and keep us posted.
