    11,750? Sure that's chump change. I can send it to you this morning. Just sign the 10 page finance contract and agree to the 50% interest per month. Two rather large gentlemen will hand it to you.

    This lot was up a little while back, for a slightly higher price. If I recall correctly, they had been collecting for many years, and it is very possible that they DID spend more money than the asking price in the process of gathering this collection.
    Remember, once upon a time, there was no google search, and no ebay. You had to go out, and HUNT for a rare and desirable razor. Sadly for this gent, there IS an ebay today, there is google search, and some of those razors can be found today for under 100 dollars. That said, I would give your left nut to own that collection of pearl handles.

    That offer is rather generous of you, and the interest rates are very fair.

    Yeah, there are some cool scales. I had never seen scales in the shape of a gun. I liked a few others, but that one definitely stood out.

    You bring up some good points. With the exception of giving up my left nut.

    I'd be asking 250K for mine.

    I would think that for that kind of money, that the razors would have be unused.

    He has an interesting scale collection. LOL

    Seems a little much to me to AVERAGE $303 a razor. Who knows, I am VERY new to the straight razor scene. Much like Cheetah, I have acquired a few too many razors to have never shaved with one yet. But I do have an excuse, I have been out to sea quite a bit lately. Every time I talk to my wife she annoyingly says "Another package arrived and it feels like another razor!" I know posting a live link may annoy someone, but I figured nobody would be jumping on this one, so if I have offended anyone....my apologies.

    HAHA. I was reading one of your posts about another one of your ebay scores when you mentioned you had collected 38ish choppers, but had yet to shave with one. I remember thinking to myself, "Looks like I am not the only one!" Although the majority of my collection are not choppers. I have only a few of those. Still need to send them out for sharpening/honing/scale repair/etc.

    Yes, this is for scales collectors.
    And honestly, it's rather cheap for that money.
    Try to get scales like that fitted to a razor. You'll pay the same kind of money.
    The condition of the blades is irrelevant
