Thread: The One That Got Away

A while back I sold a beautiful Case Temperite quarter hollow in those clear celluloid scales. At the time I was limiting my number of razors rather strictly and I already had a Case Red Imp 132 - nearly identical. I wish I had that Temperite still, cause they seem to be quite rare.

Filarmonica #14 Sub-Cero even though is was a round point

Oh yeah, and the Boker 7/8 King Cutter French Point that Doc snagged from me

In a fit of good cheer I donated a Clauss 6/8ths for one of the monthly giveaways. That razor shaved as well as my Puma Gold.

There are a few others, but that Clauss haunts me.

In '06 I was getting out of collecting straigts and related stuff. I sold three Belgian coticules that I had had for 20 years.

I also sold a stub tail stamped Greaves ( no & sons) with Sheaf Works pressed into the scales and a minty dubl duck Special # 1 with a 6/8 square point blade. Still had blue on the tang and maybe the spine IIRC.

Edit; that would be 2006..... not 1906

I was just thinking about this today. I sold a razor last year..I must have been out of my mind. Of the 200+ razors I have, this was one of my favorites. Please come home to papa...

I bought a few straights that I never plan to sell and thought the seller may want them back some day - NOT! After getting my Dovo. NO 55 with Micarta Scales, it doubled in price becuase of the fancier scales being put on them. Over the long run, it has proven itself to be an outstanding shaver.

So far I've not sold any that I regret. I sold a Torrey in the classifieds, and gave an ERN to my dad, but other than that I have all the ones I've bought so far.

I did buy a couple with the idea of PIFing them or selling them to get people started, but since I tried them I found I really like them both so I'm keeping them..!

Yeah, I have RAD lol!
