Thanks for the welcome and suggestions guys. If I win the current auctions and the blades are decent I'll have some nice users at a reasonable price. If they turn out to be crap, at least I'll have something to practice honing on before I score a nice razor through one of the folks on here. Figure I'll come out okay either way. If I lose the auctions well, that's money I can put directly toward a nicely honed razor from one of "youse guys" anyway . Only quandry I have is, do I spring for a new DOVO with a professional honing or go for a vintage refurb and have some REAL old school cool?
