New to shaving - my ebay order!

So one of the guys here, ironsidegnr, got me hooked on this thing called a straight razor? my wife already hates him! here is the order i put into ebay! i'm hoping the link works as i've already paid for them but haven't received them yet!

I'm looking for some input, i know the pictures are crappy but as soon as i get them in my hands i'll take some high res stuff and get it up here!

Hi and welcome to SRP and straight razor madness and RAD and HAD etc etc.

Looks like you have a good start with that herd.

Next move is to figure out how to get 'em sharp enough to shave with. ;)

And then figuring out how to get all the peripheral toys and MORE razors, and even MORE razors..( and hopefully no divorce ;) )

Hang in there. It only gets worse. ENJOY the ride.

Those will make some decent shavers... Just a tip though, eat one potato chip at a time... Don't try to stuff the whole bag in your mouth at once.. You will enjoy the taste more if you savor each individual razor. Good shaving!

They look in good condition..make 2 practice razors and put the rest aside for awhile if you wanna rehone them on hones

Thanks for your input guys. I was only looking to get one razor but figured it wouldn't hurt to bid on something like the lot of them! It only cost me $90!
I know the pictures aren't great but any info on what these razors might actually be?? The only name I recognize is the henckel

Clearly I have created a monster....and oddly I think I'm going to be busier with your purchase that you are at first! :)

Enjoy the ride,

If you think it's expensive now, just wait.....hones....grinders.....jesus....

Yea the cost of buying everything you want or just have
to have. cause ya think the price was a real bargain adds up.
i started vintage shaving with a idea i would spend less money over
a year ago. but was glad when i learned the stone i paid 60 bucks
for was worth way more then 1500 bucks lol.
i spend more and more money now.

Would love to see pics of this 1500 bucks treasure?

I'll have to try one of these new fangled straight razor things, it's hard to keep the clam shells properly honed for plucking out my facial hair... and welcome to SRP. The cheaper thing is so true in theory. I don't think many people here have actually seen it turn out that way though.
