    I think the point may be that it's somewhat in bad taste. A bit like asking or telling what your yearly income might be.

    SharpShave that is one nice start! I see you like the more artistically designed scales. I'm with you there. Nothing like a pretty razor that gives a great smooth shave! Congrats on your latest acquisition!

    I completely disagree, for someone like me who is new at this pricing is very important information.
    For instance, had I know been reading and seeing some pricing information, I would have never known the people at the gun show were rediculously overpriced.

    If you don't want to say that you paid x for something new, that I can understand.

    I can understand what you mean by not mentioning price on what I have bought in my collection I just started, I will tone down the insanity!
    I was trying to get some input on the Sheffield IXL w/ivory scales that I know nothing about, then everybody was sidetracked by my razor collection. I mentioned the prices cuz I was happy about my finds. People shouldn't have to pay hundreds of for these razor's anyways! Thanks for all the input guys!

    Those awesomely clean looking and high quality razors would look well in a display box or 7 day presentation case. If you had a green one, it would match my envy!

    That Geo Wostenholm is GORGEOUS! As a bit of information, the "IXL" is actually a bit humorous. Others that have bought them also didn't understand the lettering, either. It's supposed to be read aloud. For instance: "IXL" read aloud says, "I Excel." Senior members can correct me if I'm wrong, though. Seriously, that is one hell of a steal. $100 for those razors is WELL worth your money. Love those dark-green translucent scales. Gorgeous!

    You can call yourself a newbie but your taste in razors shows no inexperience.
    Verrrry Nice.
