First off, I'm a guitar player and I build and collect vintage guitar amplifiers(MARSHALL's and HI-WATT's) and VACUUM TUBES. Second,I rarely EVER buy anything but tubes on ebay. Finally,I've been shaving with straights since 1985-but don't usually buy vintage blades.
I can assure you that the "buck" was how YOU chose to bid. Believe me-you wouldn't have been close, I was willing to go ALOT higher. Check out the Wade&Butcher section on "Razor Clubs"-I just posted 2 of the 4 Wade&Butcher's I just got off of ebay. and yes although it was slightly chipped, it honed up real well.The scales lost some color when I put it into my ultrasonic cleaner, the blade looks NOS,no hone wear whatsoever.
And if you check SOTD, I've probably already shaved with it.:roflmao
Its a small world.;)BASTARD,huh?:nono::cen
I won a BEAUTIFUL TIGER-STRIPED COTICULE (thanks CHRIS!!!) on ebay a while back. Guess what? The other bidder was a member of THIS SITE. HE sent me a PM.http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b3...338/ebay2a.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b3...yrazors004.jpg
