Wow....just....wow!!!!
So on my way home I decided to stop at an antique store and walk through real quick....saw a razor box and asked if it had a razor in it...it did not.... the Guy asked the lady behind the desk if she had any straight razors and she said yeah but they'd been picked through and only had a few left. Then this....
I now have FIVE 7/8 or bigger Wade and butchers to make up for the 9/8 chopper I busted 2 days ago.... had em marked for 794 dollars total but got em haggled down to 500.. $100 per blade!!!! Covered in grease still so pardon the pics... I'm soooo excited...I got shakeup and didn't want them to see. I'd hate to see what the others were that got cherry picked.

Good I'd for an antique store! I'm sure they're gonna clean up and be good additions to your collection- just be careful this time!

Your negotiating skills are as nice as those blades. W&B are some of my nicest shavers. Enjoy.

Wow!!! What a superb find....I'm still totally into the big WB blades...they just seem to me to be an above and beyond shaving experience for me.
But if I've learned anything here, who knows what it will be six months from now. This is how I've come to understand RAD, and I still have HAD and SAD to look forward too!!

Its all patina in the pics, no rust at all...if there is pitting its on one blade and maybe on the tang on a couple... I'll give a more individual pic selection and measurements in a few along with descriptions. Originally Posted by JoeLowett
