Chay I think it's more that I have to take what you turned down fit the most part!

I don't have very much luck in south Louisiana, but my family in Michigan are picking up NOS and near int razors for me all the time. They currently have 21 all in fantastic shape that are waiting for them to come visit me. I think for the whole lot of them they haven't spent more than $300. They are currently negotiating for a Wostenholm 7 day set with someone that they are hoping to get for $200.

If they can manage that, I think I may keel over in surprise.

I'm lucky if I find a Gold Dollar that's been chewed on for less than $65.

I posted this before, but a week ago I found my Joseph Allen & sons medium hollow ground barbers notch and my J A Henckels 'cutwell' for $5 a piece

I guess I have been lucky then as I found a restored Dubl Duck for $20.00 at a local antique store. The scales were redone out of wood and weren't the very best and the pins were slightly loose but the blade was in great shape requiring just a little work to make it a terrific shaver.
