How did I do? Bought a razor from ebay.
Just bought this razor from ebay. My first ever buy actually from ebay.
WADE AND BUTCHER "SPECIAL" STRAIGHT RAZOR FROM SHEFFIELD ENGLAND.
Cost me about 36 bucks with shipment to sweden.
Ok or did I do a lousy buy on this one?
It looks restorable I think.

OK, that said... it's kinda hard to tell from that one picture, but it looks like you *might* have some rusting really close to, or including, the edge. As long as it's not so deep as to interfere with the edge, it looks like a great blade.
Beautiful razor, for sure.

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.

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. Originally Posted by gssixgun

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. Originally Posted by Denno
