Thread: How did I do? Bought a razor from ebay.

Well im not sure its rust, looks more like someting you can polish away. the add said nothing about rust on the edge so I hope he is right.

Also landed this one.


W.H. MORLEY STRAIGHT RAZOR
29 bucks. I just like the style of it, hope it can be a good shaver.

Thats it for tonight. No more shopping now!

I've honed up quite a few of the W&B 'Specials' - all turned out fine but I would keep a close watch on those edge blemishes as suggested!

Yeah it will be nice to see what they look like when I have them in my hand, and if I can do anything with them.

Hope they not are in to bad shape.

Bought to more, a good price I think...20 bucks for 2.





Clauss & Geneva Cutlery Corp

Looked real nice in shape and not much to do then clean them up and start using them I guess.

nicee, you got a steal with that

The W&B looks ok , you will know when you hone it up.
Those Morley's have fantastic edges.

But the real deal were the two for $20
You scored a Clauss and a Geneva both two of the highest rated American razors out there....

They are? I just looked in the "good razor list" here at the forum and saw they where up there. I was amazed noone bid higher for them, but some times you need to be lucky I guess.

I am happy to hear they are good razors and the shape looks real nice as I can see.

Be careful on ebay. People often "forget" to mention that sort of detail. That's what the pictures are for - needless to say these are often blurred, out of focus, tiny, underlit or all of the above.
Also, often people selling stuff on ebay have no clue about what they're selling. Sometimes they think they have a treasure when the item is crap, and sometimes they're clueless but trying to be honest - like that guy selling a barber's notch blade thinking it had a piece missing from the toe LOL

Yeah I know I might get burned on ebay, but then again you need to gamble some time.
But I belive these might be all good ones I restored them. Thats what I am hoping for though.
