I recently won these razors from eBay and am pretty excited for when they arrive. I was looking for a new red imp 133 but a 132 is good enough. Anyway here is the auction
4 VINTAGE STRAIGHT RAZORS & BOXES: TUCKMAR, KING CUTTER, ECONOMY, BEAUJEU DUMON | eBay
I let this one slip away from me and it went pretty cheap. It would have been a nice pick up
3 VINTAGE STRAIGHT RAZORS & BOXES: HESS, H & H GRINDING, GARANTIE SOLINGEN EMDE | eBay
Let me know what you guys think
Nice job on the King Cutter, get that honed up!
You got three rust-free vintage blades (and one with some rust) for a reasonable price.
I own two King Cutters and a Tuckmar. They're plenty sharp after honing -- you'll have a good time with that group.
Since they're in "as-found" condition, they'll probably need honing before you use them. You _might_ get lucky, but the odds are against it.

And I note that the vendor specifically said: "Blade is very sharp, has slight wear, and no rust."Quote:

What a shame. I have asked sellers to send additional pictures before and received no response, I don't bid on those.
Where the others in good condition?
The scales on the tuckmar are cracked on both sides (Also not shown in the pictures)

She is offering to take the king cutter back for 23.50 or the entire lot back for a refund. I don't really know if the tuckmar is salvageable or if the rust on the red imp is fixable. The siana lux seems to be in good condition. Any help will be highly appreciated
At least she is offering a refund. I would take some good pictures and send them off to some people in the Classifieds and see what they tell you before you refund the whole lot.
I guess you need to decide if the three razors are worth 33 bucks a piece. That Red Imp has some rust in the original picture that may or may not be from cell rot. I'd watch that one REAL close.
Damn shame about the Boker.
The second lot you bought looks well worth the $$.
