Fair Price
So I was at my local barber shop and my barber has six straights that he inherited from the previous owner of the shop. Barbers are discouraged to use straights in California due to liability issues. He is willing to sell them to me but I want to offer a fair price. They are as follows:
1. C. V. Heljestrand "Royal Kidal" with original box.
2. H. Boker King Cutter
3. JA Henkels Gloria
4. Zarina
5. Puma High Class
6. A Moreley Rattler"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson, Paris, November 13th 1787

Firstly, it is pretty much against the rules for any of us to try and set a value for your razors, per the forum by lines.
Secondly, their value is pretty much whatever you are willing to pay for them. They are all beautiful razors and would be wonderful in anyone's collection.
Truly, the answer is: what is it worth to you?
Do some EBay searching for Vintage straight razors and see what individual razors are selling for. Try and find a couple of the same brands and see what they are going for. It wont really take that much research for you to settle on a value for yourself!!
Good luck mate!

Nice rotation if keeping them for your own personal use is your intention. I'd ask him what he wants for them and if it is within your budget I'd go for them.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
