    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!

    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

    @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:
