Thanks for the reminder - I was curious how high that one was going to go. Yikes.
Wow. I am going to put mine in the safe. :-)
36 bids?! To each his own I suppose.
Don't get me wrong - I think that is a beautiful razor: I love my W&Bs, and my current favourite shaver is also a 'For Barbers Use' (although a J.Wolstenholm). So I am a big fan of W&B as well as the big chopper format of a for barbers use, but yikes!
I was watching that one just out of curiosity. It is a beautiful exemplar of the type, but almost $900? These W&B meat choppers have gone through the roof-worse than Filis!
edit: I think it's sorta funny how in the "More Chances to Get What You Want" under it are a couple of Gold Dollars-so I'll just get one of those as a consolation prize.:p
Good Lord that is ridiculous. For that amount of money one could probably commission a one of a kind custom razor, oh well. If it shows up here on SRP we'll know who has some deep pockets. Hope the new owner enjoys it for years to come. :)
Here are my two. The bottom one was $80.00 in a regular auction and the one above was a lucky find, listed a few minutes with a buy it now of $15.00 USD + shipping ! :y

I have to say that ending price is insane!
I was watching that ebay listing..seemed like the winner REALLY got the RAD bug!...:rofl2:
Interesting that one went that high, when this one doesn't even have a bid.....

Nope, not after seeing that price!
You should realize the auction started quite low. 2 or 3 bidders did all the pricing!Quote:

So why do these get the high prices? I get that it's a Collector's Item, but so are half the <$100 razors on the bay...
The seller has a great reputation, and deservedly so IMO. His auctions often have repeat bidders.
Wow. I should really make some work of restoring the 8/8 barbers use that has been in my restoration pile since forever.
I could use 500+$. If I sell that and a couple of other large razors, I may be able to buy a pro belt grinder without too much problems.
This razor is about as rare as a beanie baby. I'll never understand these prices. Gssixgun: Any idea how many of these razors have come across your bench over the years? lol.
Oh man, you jinxed it.Quote:

You have to give the seller credit for chutzpah though ..... he says,"The imperfection seen at the tip is not a break or crack, just an imperfection in the horn scale, that adds character!" :thinking:Quote:
