    I've never owned a Winchester razor but I have had one of their vintage pocket knives in the past. The thing about Winchester is that you have the pocket knife collectors and the firearms collectors who may want a razor as a representative piece to compete with. I have no doubt they are a high quality blade but the collectible nature drives the price.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    3 books mention about Winchester razors. Two of them at least 30-40 years old. They are valued at least 10 times higher over other razors. I believe this is self explanatory

    I have two of them and they are in great shape. The do fetch a ton of money though.......

    $80 for one in really great condition is a pretty fair price these days.....I have seen them go for a lot more.

    I found one in decent shape at an antique shop. The name Winchester was not completely readable, I passed. Maybe wrong choice. Oh well I will keep looking.

    I bought this razor few days ago. 5/8 with the case. This razor is much lighter than any average 5/8 razor I had before. No any restoration yet.

    That is a terrible razor. It us ugly as hell and you should sell it to me immediately so you don't torture yourself with fantacies of shaving with an authentic Winchester in primo shape - errrr uhhhh I mean it really sux and you should let me take it off of your hands.
