Need advice on purchase.(asap)

I know, JUST BUY THEM!
But, being a stickler for quality, I don't want to buy all, and get a blade or two of total crap.
The one I am most interested in is the Thomas Ward Sheffield wedge.
There are two Swedish blades, and one I am not sure of(Bengall). All with boxes :D
The price for all 4 as a group is....well really good.
55 bucks.
How are these as shavers?
Resto work is not an issue, as I am fairly competent.
The Ivory(yes, real ivory) is broken on one side, missing the piece.
The rest are horn and plastic/rubber.

Not a collector, but a user, so how well do these bad-boys work?
Will not have net access in class, but if you all could be pals, and e-mail me suggestions(as well as posting here) I would love you forever!

heljestrands are very sought after. antonbergs are supposed to be excellent. bengalls are a great brand. LOOK GOOD.

I am not a restorer, but they do look like they will clean up and hone nicely based on you photos.

They're all very good & will be great shavers. Should clean up well too. Get them!

P.S. That's an arse of a way to list your email! Not a safe idea on a public forum either.

Same as above :tu

I'd buy those in a sec.:tu

all very nice, im a little jealous

If your just interested in one of them I will take the rest off your hands for $30 or so that will make up the difference.:w

All of them should turn out to be great shavers... and the price is definitely right. Shame about the ivory though.

OI!

I've got the SRAD bad.

Just went and bought them, 50 bucks cash!
mwah ha ha!

All have boxes( the Eric Anton Berg and the Bengall have the correct boxes)

The other two boxes are J.A. Hellberg, and EDV. Niestrom 52.

Cleaning them up right now, the Bengall and Heljestrand have perfect scales, just a bit of polishing maybe.
The Ivory(maybe bone?) and horn are trashed, usable, but ugly.

You got an excellent bargain, well done! Heljestrand or Bengall is worth that price alone!

Its worth it to buy them all. Once the addiction starts to kick it you would hate yourself for passing them up. Go for it.
