New auction buy

Snagged up this batch of 3 razors. Dubl Duck Goldedge, Boker Red Injun, and another Wade & Butcher...cant wait till they arrive. Got a good deal though. Attachment 154121

I was watching that one..

Was watching that one as well...congrats...that was definitely a good score!

Also, there was an interesting 7 Day Wilkinson Safety Razor set that I was watching...looked very interesting...watched it triple in the last 30 minutes. Wonder if someone got it here...it looked so elegant and historical, I think I was channeling Thaeris or ScienceGuy!

Cheers!

I was surprised noone bid on this lot, saw the wilkinson, it end high?

The Wilkinson 7 Day set ended up at $180...

Very nice lot no doubt, they all should clean up well, might be one of those things where people thought it would go crazy at the end so no-one went for it???

I thought the point of safety razors was that you only needed spare blades, so you didn't need to carry around spare razors?

The old Wilkinsons like Phrank is talking about were a honeable blade...similar to a Rolls Razor

Seems high honestly, seen em a lot cheaper, pretty common set, depending on dating etc

@Dennis - Yes, saw two more sets somewhat cheaper, but they didn't look in as good shape as this one IMO.

Actually, the set looked quite cool, nice piece of history, before the time of disposable blades, here's a pic:

No worries, I was of the same mind when I first saw it, learn something new every day! And hey, I won my struggle with RAD...for once! :D

Received the razors!

H. Boker & Co. Germany
Red-Injun No 101
Will probably be 11/16 after I hone the nick out

They said Wade and butcher and came in a W&B box....built like a celebrated but unmarked sadly....should be a great shaver

13/16 unmarked

Dubl Duck Goldedge 11/16+ barely under 6/8

Very happy with the buy....razor should clean up great!
