I was looking at sweeney emporiums and they look like they have some good deals.

Vintage Straight Razors & Barber Shop Collectibles

I don't see any good deals there. If you purchase from the SRP classifieds a member will give you an honest appraisal of the condition and in general he will know what he is talking about. In general if he says it is shave ready it will be. Aside from that emporium place wanting too much for what they are selling add the cost of getting it honed once you receive it.
