    I have yet to find an old Sheffield that I didn't like once I got it honed right. I've got some problem children w/LOTS of unusual hone wear that may never shave right but it's fun and aggravating at the same time trying to get them running again.

    That's a nice pile of history for a great price. Well done.

    Great finds - and just as important- 5 razors are saved from "Death by Ralph Lauren inspired shadow box"

    A fate no razor with shaves left deserves...

    Let us know how they turn out...

    Smooth Shaving..

    I hope you were able to act unhappy. Nothing wrong with setting the stage for next time.

    Nice haul, well done. Antique stores want more like $60 for 1 worn out Bengall in my neck of the woods.

    Same here, trying to explain anything to these two harpies that work at this one store where straights come in fairly regularly is futile...don't even bother going there anymore...$150.00 for an old Boker with a bad frown and cracked scales...sheesh!

    When I looked at one common 6/8, notched medium ground W&B, in OK shape, she decided not to sell it because she's heard you could get $400.00 or more for them, I opened my mouth about to explain, sighed and just walked away...why bother Charlie Brown.
