I have to tell you, getting your hands on a decent looking Swaty ain't that easy. I lost a perfect one because I had to leave the computer and was outbid by 50 cents. The one I just let go was getting way too high for my taste, and it had some chips in it. As a matter of fact these things are getting to the point that the prices are getting higher than using more modern methods of restoring an edge.

Do people bid on these for historic value, or to hone their razors? The perfect one I missed went for around $45. The one with the chip went for $75. I don't get it.
