second razor

have put in a bid on a second razor to give me a reference against the other and to have one inox and one carbon steel of about the same type to compare. my inox is a new Dovo 5/8 round point with the ice swirls. What do you guys reckon the value of this shaver to be?

If you think it is alright please don't outbid me on it ;) Planning to send it to lynn for a professional honing so I can compare apples to oranges at least.

I am really excited about straight shaving and I thank everyone for their help! This is a great group for sure.

We can't give valuations here (if that's what you're asking) but it's a nice looking razor from what I can tell. Pics aren't the greatest though.

A side note, if you don't want people to bid, don't post the ebay link until after you win :) remember that people who aren't members can browse the forums too!

Edit: Be careful with that gold wash if you win, it comes off very easily if you polish over it or look at it wrong!

I had checked the classifieds but most of the razors that were not sold looked like square end and I am looking for something 5/8 and round to be similar to what I have already for comparison.

Someone bid the bullocks right off me... I drew the line at $200 and thought it was a sure bet. Probably not worth that much though, but would'a loved to win.

Ended up with this one instead for $35.
