    Sir you did extremely well . By my math you scored 9 vintage razors for $140... So that's $15.50 a razor. The butterfly's in your stomach when you saw the unveil and the subsequent transaction.... PRICELESS. This kind of find is something that the rest of the community only dreams about. Enjoy the restoration and shaves.

    Yer going to hate me when I show up with more from this same guy. We've seem to have become friends. He runs an Estate downsizing service. I'm meeting with him again Fri to look at some more blades he has. Fingers crossed that their in as good of condition as these.

    Hopefully they are quality . I am actually happy more classics in the pipe line is good for the whole community. trickle down theory over time. this art-form is meant to be used and not allowed to rot. This would make you a Canadian Razor Savior/ Ambassador . Not a bad position if you can get it. Post pics so we can congratulate you on your Coronation.

    An "Estate Downsizing Service"....Hmmm, you have made a new friend AND a very useful contact there, double score !!
    Those 8 blades are a mini-collection in themselves that anyone would be happy to own

    Hah !!....Three points to help preserve your life expectancy:

    1. Make more shaving brushes !!....I'm saving my pennies to make you an offer you can't refuse

    2. What wife would attempt bodily-harm on a hubby with a fistful of antique razors ?

    3. Buy her some flowers....and some choccies....and a bottle of champers.

    Jokes aside, those razors are a damn good investment. They will only gain in value !!
