    Default Worth to buy!?

    I found this razor on eBay, and somebody tell me, is this worth to buy?
    This is a A 13/16” Sheffield Army Straight Razor by J. Heiffor *#

    Thank you!

    Do you understand the term ''SUBJECTIVE?''

    Is it worth to buy? What a question. That would depend upon so many variables that the reader could never answer that question from your point of view.

    If I didn't already have more razors that plates to eat off, the price was 'right,' its purchase wouldn't impair my bills, there wasn't someone's birthday coming up etc, then yeh, I'd consider buying it, why not. Its not a bad looking razor, neither is it an inferior brand.

    Look, Scipio, I only put the question here is it worth to buy this razor or not, and is this a good razor, nothing else.
    So, there is no needs yell on me via message and depreciate someone who is sciolist of razors.

    If you'd read about razors here, or even looked around the site, you'd see that razors made in Sheffield (as this one is) are generally very good shavers.

    Or simply googled the brand http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...n-heiffor.html

    Default Heiffor razor

    In Doyle's first edition of 1980 when common razors were listed at $1.00 value the Heiffor was listed at $10.00. Krulmholz said they were SCARCE. I do not know how they shave but I do not have one in my collection of near 500. I would buy it if the price was right.

    From the backround it looks as if thats a razor offered by Taylors 1000. Tony does an excellent job of describing the razors' condition and every razor I have gotten from him has been exactly as described. As far as value, it hasn't been determined yet if the price is not known. I find Sheffield razor great smooth shavers.

    I second that. Taylors1000 sells good stuff and ships it fast. He also does a good job of providing honest assessments of the razors he sells. I consider him to be an extremely reputable vendor.

    I ask the seller to show me the other side of blade, and here is pic. On the point of blade is a really bad scratch, or something else, I don't know.... looks like the little part on point is missing...
