I may yet buy some vintage, but I want to get 4 more new/nos to complete a 14 day rotation. There is only so much money. When I think about spending 400-500 on a vintage, I think, why? Would like a Mastro Livi, but that will come later when I can explain to my wife why I want to spend a 1000 on a straight razor. I want at least one Revisor, and I like some of their rarities too. I saw a beautiful Wade & Butcher on eBay few months ago. Went for well over 500. So for now, no vintage, only new/nos.
