Thread: What is your Best deal ever?

wow that´s hard to tell. I had so many superb steals:

I got an Esher type Thuringian (10k+, maybe 20k) with a beautiful razor box and attached leather for 25€



(did I mention you can store a razor in the box. And have a leather attatched?
It has two slidecases, one wields the razor, one the thuringian. It´s so awesome)

I found a vintage coticule/bbw combo for 23€



I stole a Thiers Issard limited edition Bijou de france for 60€

And I found a japanese natural in the high end grit range for under 100€


But, for all the nice stones I found I could have been very wrong.
I never knew what exactly I was buying. So maybe I have a good eye, or I am just a lucky guy

Probably the 7x1.5" natural coticule/bbw combination stone w/ box and instructions for around $60 i think.

and the 7/8" Pease NOS I recently got for $43.

I have also found some gems in the mystery ebay razor lots...

I got this W&B Celebrated for Barbers Only on the bay for $15.00 on a buy it now from an old guy out of Wyoming. It is an 8/8 and honed up nicely for a wonderful shave.

That's a tough one.

I paid £3.50 for my Wilkinson 'The lance'
I paid £3 for one of my coti/bbws.
£4 for my charnley forest

I dunno, there are loads.

I've gotten quite a few really great razors for chump change. Probably dollar wise the best was a Dovo Mammoth which sells for around $400 new I picked up on Eboy in very close to new condition for around $120.

this is a tough one.I'll let you decide.
DD gold edge minor use $10
shumate 125 unused $7
bismark registered unused $6
w&b ex hollow meat chopper $20
boker red injun unused$10
swaty $2

Oh yeah and the Old spice Mug an Brush set with a never used BBW/Extra-extra Fine Coti for $18 at the antique store

On the high dollar end.... I saw this on ebay a year and a half ago .... $800.00 bucks buy it now. It was in the early afternoon, a guy out of Arizona. I pulled the trigger. Come to find out from Lynn and it was the real McCoy. A Livi set in stag with the ladder Damascus razor, loom strop and brush all in stag. Not chump change but a good deal for what it is and the 8/8 razor shaves like a dream.

NOS Filly #14 Doble Temple, 25€

God thread Sham! Lots of great deals gotten.

Off the top of my head a blue Escher thrown into an already great deal for free, an Esher type Thuringian for a buck, both the same size as Lesslemming's and the Esher type Thuringian is the same color (no box). A lot of 30 razors at $5 a piece, a NOS C-Mon Blackie for $35 and many more razors to numerious to mention.
