Thread: The Butcher Shop

Cheers Phrank,

Yes was the one that ended last night (midday for me downunder). Think I overpaid, but I believe these don't come up so often so I paid what I had to and am happy with the purchase as long as it cleans up ok.

I don't think you overpaid, you pay what you can afford and that's that! And you're correct, they don't come up often, and when they do, grab them!! You did well, it's a nice blade!! Congrats!!

Thanks Phrank.

Before buying, I thought about what I would want in a collection, and decided Id rather have a handful of unusual / less common razors rather than heaps of more common razors (I know the FBU I got is quite common). Now just need a pristine 7 day set lol... but realistically id like a gentlemans razor, and although not uncommon, Id like a pristine bow razor next to an arrow razor.

Do you know much about the Anchor razors? ie age, how common etc

What are the most collectable W&B's?

I agree, I woulda bid it up more had I not just bought like 60 SR this week...lol. I want an anchor baaaaad. Let us know the blade width when it arrives!

Those anchors are top tier along with a handful of others they made

Thanks, I feel a little less bad about how much I spent that I really shouldnt have lol. Im really trying to restrict my budget, hence the need to limit it to a select few razors for my rotation rather than one of everything.
