If I were really interested in spending any real amount of money trying to buy it, I might have done just that. However, I'm not too worried about someone else buying it... for a couple of reasons. Mainly, IME things don't go by unnoticed in the hone/straight razor department in the first place. I think Lynn said it pretty well in his video, that there are very few good hone deals on ebay. That hone is probably going to go like the old Greaves I was bidding on the other day; it's gonna not do a whole lot, then jump up in the triple digits with six seconds on the clock. I know how online auctions go. Besides, I just bought an Llyn Idwal, so my "random money for buying more hones/razors I don't need" is a little slim right now... plus Idwal = close enough. haha
Posting it on here was really more because I didn't understand what I was seeing. That seller constantly has alleged CF's for sale, and I can't understand why he would miss this one, which... at least from what my eyes are telling me (and apparently what most other's eyes are telling them) clearly is a real CF. I dunno... just seems a little baffling.
