Ray, you should have no worries it is worth the $50. It has been nicely cleaned up and looks very good. I passed it by because of its good condition.

I want restoration challenges and in the $1 to $40 range. At $50+ the razor better have some serious potential hidden behind its pitting and tarnish.

I almost feel bad about snagging this one then Vlad: http://tinyurl.com/zfgps

As you should I actually got a couple of decent scores, but they will take some time with the dremel to reveal their true potential. One will actually need to be taken to a rough hone to turn a frown upside down before it sees my 4k/8k Japs. Posted the links in my topic here.

Oh, man! That was cold. No discounts for the Shark, I'd say for at least a year. What do you think, Vlad?

Chances are he'll get to see it anyway

Not unless you flaunt it in front of me like you did and waive the price tag in my face.

And what's the "almost feeling bad" comment? Salt on the wound?

I was thinking it might find its way into a box with some wood.

You sound almost too serious. I hope you realize that Bill and I were just teasing you.

I picked up 5 restoration challenges already for about $30 S&H included. I am not going to hold yours against you.

Now, if that was a 8/8 W&B meatchopper you picked up for under $50 then it would be a completely different story. I think I'd carry the grudge to my grave.

Just hope you know that when the auction says "could use cleaning" it usually leaves out the "with a sand blaster" to make it completely true. The blade looks fine from what I can see in the photo but be prepared for rust and pitting.

It's all in fun of course I really did think about sending it to you with the briar, because I'd love to see briar scales on a W&B like that.


If it's an 8/8, I may have to hold out though ...

I think I'll join in on the fun: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
