    Default What do you know, it's a steal!

    Just won a lot of 3 razors on eBay, 2 straight razor and 1 crappy Weck sextoblade razor.

    I didn't take a picture of the Weck of course, but after a minor cleanings of the other two I decided to share this here.
    So the first one is a W.H Oats, I know very little about this razor but it was surprisingly bigger and heavier than I thought.

    The second one, and by far, the best goal on this auction was a pressed-horn razor with beautiful scales in great condition! I cleaned them a bit and rubbed a little bit of neatsfoot oil. I wanted to keep the razor with some character so I decided not giving it a polished mirror look and just cleaned and polished it a little.

    I was shocked I actually won this auction for its starting price which was...$24!!!

    What a deal. Both are fine looking razors. I like your idea about not mirror polishing.
