    Well, one thing is for sure, you will have to spend a lot of time to take any of those razors and turn it into something that can compare with a brand new $80 carbon steeled DOVO which takes about five minutes of honing/stropping to make good.

    So how much should you pay. Given your investment in tools and your time at say $40 per hour. Also if you need to sell them, their sales value, your time to photograph and sell them including packing and posting.

    Well financially, I don't think your going to make much money if you get them for free.

    But if it's a hobby, I'd pay no more than $250.

    For some reason I always assume it's a hobby unless noted otherwise. It seems to me like it would be hard to make money off of used razors, but maybe someone has found a way?

    Anywhere between $150 and $300 would be what I would expect to see as a price tag. I wuldn't go more than $200 but then I've always been a cheap SOB. Especially with that picture.

    Hard to tell. Depends on quality of blades, scales and the brands. I only recognize a DORKO box so if the DORKO is of good quality that alone would warrant a USD 100+ price. It also depends whether you buy them to keep or whether you want to sell them on.

    Randy,

    Pick a good one out for me: 6/8 or +, impeccable 1/2 hollow grind, nifty scales, etc. I'm good for a buck two eighty, easy.

    Do any rare earth hones come with that treasure trove?

    Cheers,

    Morning!

    The sale was worth it. 22 razors were not worthwhile but 8 of them I purchased.
    2 6/8 German full hollow grinds
    1 old frame back, screw in front of spine
    2 9/16 Dorko wedges, same model
    2 4/8 wedges
    1 3/8 wedge
    ( I have yet to actually measure them )
    Total $72

    All are in "good" condition, none are VG or better. But none had rust on the edge nor serious rust or serious pitting.
    I did travel 180 miles roundtrip plus 4 hours of my time. So there is some additional cost there and there wil be sustantially more time invested to get then cleaned up and shave ready,... whenever I decide to do that!

    It was a sale just North of Wheeler, Wisconsin, about 4 miles, on Cty Rd FF. Maybe I can take some pics soon.
