Epd...since I've seen a couple of opinions requested posts from you (which is great, btw...way better than not asking!)I thought I would mention there is a really helpful page that tells you what to look for and trusted brands.

Why can't you joke like dyimages? are you even too polite for a little jesting back and forth? :D
That is very nice Gesture From one of our Colonial Cousins I thought you Canadians Used sharpened axes and cold water for shaving and wore thick woolly shirts & choped down Trees and wore womans clothing and had buttered scones for tea!:D
It's nice that you have a positive attitude. Since you're pretty new to straights to begin with, many here would recommend to take some time to read the Wiki/Library for razors to avoid. Being new it can be very easy to overlook flaws in some razors on the bay, like excessive hone wear, chips or cracks etc. Take a quick look at these threads for a idea of what I mean:

These are just 2 examples out of hundreds out there. Until you know what to look for in a bay razor, you may want to stick with the classifieds and vendors here.
Thanks again to our other colonial chums advice taken will have a good read and look on here for razors as I am getting the collection bug now thanks a lot guys for all the help Ps is there such a thing as a mounting board for straights or display case thanks once again
