Were the cops on your tail as you drove back home? Because I think you stole at least half of them...

I don't know about 'very valuable', but I'll cover all your expenses if you just send the Jackson to its proper home, namely mine.

Well I don't know about their exact value but I would say most antique places or the bay would fetch at LEAST 3 times as much as you paid for that lot of razors...

My favorites are the first two sheffields, raccoon, and the bismarck.

Have fun restoring the whole set!

how did you know which private sale to go to? I have been looking into estate sales/auctions and haven't spotted any razors with any certainty.
