Thread: Won this on Ebay. Is it worth $20

Looks great! add a pro hone and you will be away laughing.

Thanks for all your input guys. I was hoping I didn't over pay. It's in excellent shape and straight. It is dull and I will send it out to be honed when I receive the other razor I just bought, a wade and butcher special, so I can send them both at the same time. Can any one give me some history on this razor? When was it made, etc?

Just because a razor is not "highly sought after" does not make it any less desireable. Genco, Robeson, Geneva, Thistle, etc, may not command the high prices of a DublDuck or a Filly, but all make great shavers. Tell me what razor you have seen, made of quality steel, with little hone wear, was NOT worth 20 or 30 bucks? I think we have a bad habit of pricing ourselves out of our own market!

Wester Bros razors are highly underrated. I've owned several, and they are fantastic shavers.

It looks very clean and barely honed, which will be a great starter razor. Send it off to one of the pro's to be honed and you will be very pleased.

I just got it back on Friday from being honed. I will shave with it tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

So , how did the shave go ?

Literally just finished shaving. It was great! I think it was a good buy. Looks great and shaves great! I was worried about doing damage with the square point, as it is my first, but it did nothing more than usual.
