Thread: New Bay Score

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.

Nice Haul!!

Happy Shaving!!

Nice looking lot...

The package came in the mail today. The boker blade was cut in half right from point. What a shame

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

The blade was broken when the picture was taken, you can see it in the shadow beneath the blade, though the picture was staged to hide it.

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.
