Thread: Don't know if I should be angry

That woman musty really love you.

I don't think she paid too much.

Get to the mailbox first and she'll never know there's a new one until you tell her.

Actually, after the first 20 or 30, she won't be able to tell you've added another two, three, or four to the collection. If she notices some really spectacular new acquisition, I just tell her it's a razor on loan from X-man or Neenad . Fortunately, she's never pressed me on just when I plan to return all of these razors to my friends .

If she ever asks, just tell her that you inquired and I told her you could just keep it and say, "See what a great group of gentlemen they all are?"

You got those razors for a great bargain. I wouldn't have been at all hesitant to unload a similar amount of cash, had I seen them.

I think that because they lack a popular maker's mark (Wade and Butcher, Henckel, Dovo, Puma, etc), they were overlooked by however many people saw the auction. If it's Sheffield steel they used in their construction, it's safe to assume that they will hold a great edge; and as the guys in this thread have already mentioned, the fact that they're in an assembled set with a fancy box indicates that the company who produced them wasn't catering to your average consumer. Heck, owning a four-bladed set of any razor brand seems somewhat extravagant, let alone these, which seem to be very nicely constructed. If it weren't for the shank markings, you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these and any other of the more popular brands. If a similar set of Wade and Butcher razors were to be listed, they'd sell for more.

The auction mentions three hairline cracks, so I guess that could be considered an issue. "Hairline" could be an inappropriate assessment of the cracks, though, so you may get lucky.

Yeah, use us, out of States guys. Clever. That way you can keep your "loaners" longer. But, watch out, with one of Bill's or Maestros, you'r wife wouldn't believe you, that kind of razor is not a loaner

I dunno...bill is sending out his custom razor....we could just say that he appreciated our last review so much that he wanted us to try on for a month or so and let him know how we felt about it after long term use. As far as Maestros maybe suggest that you traded a few razors for it??? I showed my fiance the damascus razo that Bill has for sale and while she thought it really was a work of art, she has no clue what it would cost...so that could be a plus.

X,

Don't forget that if you try Ed's trick, you can't say you got it from X-man!

Well yeah, I figured that was a given. I'd actually planned to use Ed or somebody else she's already heard of, but I don't really have to. A couple of months ago I started with, "Ok, I've got some bad news". Then I told her I got 5 Dubl Ducks on eBay and she said, "Oh don't scare me like that I thought it was something serious". This attitude might change in time.
