Yowza!! I'd say you did good. Some lookers there for sure. Especially that FR, I love those faux frame back, humpbacks!
I tried not to smile so much when I saw them. I'm so use to being disappointed when I look. I agree the faux frameback are great razors. I just honed up a wosty and man that is a great shaver.
Ok, first when I looked at this, I was on my cell. Now I'm on my Comp and that FR looks to have barely any hone wear. Is it true!!???
There is someminimal hone wear but nothing bad
Well that isn't just a little bit of luck either. FR is my favorite sheffield brand. I have several of different shapes and sizes and they never disappoint me. What a great haul.
Thanks Sean. I didn't mention how much I got them for. $60. For all of them. Happy day indeed
When faced with finds like that it really gets the blood pumping.
Very lucky
That my friend, is what I like to call an UNDERSTATEMENTQuote:

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.Quote:

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..
That WB French point has me feeling a little drooly...
Nice haul-Congrats!
Congrats on some fine razors at a very attractive price. Enjoy them thoroughly.

We have plenty of those here as well.Quote:

The curse of ebay.
I love the French point W & BQuote:
