Thread: 2 more days .. how high will it go ??

i wont be bidding on this one ...lol
Antique Wade Butcher Straight Razor Barbers Use Sheffield 1 1 16 or 9 8 | eBay

Me neither,
I guess it's value is in the wallet of the beholder.

I've had this one on my watch list.

Did anyone see the one that recently went for over $100 with a massive chip, or something in the barbers notch?

No I did not see it.
I have never pulled a straight razor from Ebay. I get a lot of hones/stones from the bay.
I would rather get my straights from the members here at SRP, that way I don't get burned, I have yet to be disappointed with a straight from an SRP member.

ive pulled all but 5 of bout 30 off of the bay .. i got burned on my first one cause i didnt realize there was more pics and the hone wear was so bad i should just set a bevel on the spine ...lol... but ive bought 2 off of our classifieds here and have never been let down !!!

i did buy a hone off the bay the other day , seller had no clue what kind and i didnt either so i took a shot on it .. ill post pics when it arrives and i get my computer running again ...the one im on now is seriously outdated ..lol

I got a bid in on it. Somewhere near the bottom @ around 51. I wanted a front row seat to watch this one. I saw one last week (I think) went for 290 or some where around there. I have an old WB that is 2 hairs over 7/8. I darn near took off my chin with it yesterday morning. If I used a 9/8, God knows what I would lose. I have decided my first custom build is going to be called "The 2X4". If bigger is worth more than a razor 4 inches long and 2 inches wide should go for a lot more than 300+.

Of course these razors are fetching big money. I already sold mine! (proof that my timing is rotten as my teeth!)
