Allow me to begin by introducing myself, i am slowhandsteady, a new member and long time user of this site, I became interested in straight razors about 3 years ago, and have since been eating up as much information as i can on the topic, in doing so i have amassed several razors that i i no longer need. See, my appreciation for the straight razor came from my of love things efficient and simple, and in a recent realization, i found that having surplus of razors not capable of shaving with is neither simple nor efficient. which leads me to the purpose of the thread, i have 7razors that are of little or no real value to me, other than being a constant source of bleeding fingertips and much to the shagrin of my lovely wife, pieces i can leave on a table and forget bout.M questions lie not in manufacturing, or blade compisitions, or history of a particular company, rather the realistic value of the pieces. i have done as much scouting and eb@y hounding and tracing as i can and have not been able to come up with a fair ballpark figure to sell these razors for. So i turn to you, the experts, or anyone with a better idea than me.
i have
1) a durham duplex shavette with cream celluloid handles good condition
2) a Genco grant with cream scales and metal bolsters 4/8. great
condition
3) an american products company, of cincinnati ohio, #1008 with faux tortoiseshell scales 3/8
4) 5/8 pre dovo bismarck in excellent condition with cream scales and "bismarck regiestered" inlayed in scales
5) wade & butcher " the celebrated hollow ground razor for barbers use" on blade " "manufactured wade and butcher sheffield"8/8 with chipped black bone handles, blade has one 1/4" x 1/16 nick in the cutting edge
6) "bismarck razor works solingen germany" #602 6/8 with some remaining gold wash in exc condition
