Thread: What is your Best deal ever?

I bought a 6/8 Wade & Butcher 'the Celebrated Razor' near wedge last weekend for $20.

Of course it looked like one of those beat up middle-ages swords they drag out of the earth when I got it, but believe it or not I got all the rust off and it honed right up and shaved nicely.

A Dubl Duck Dwarf and Case Red Imp both for free as a very kind gesture from a barber in my hometown who still cuts hair part time at age 75.

Otherwise, this, my prized Choice coticule combo that I doubt I'd ever sell. It was $8.








I have a few other jaw dropping razor related deals, but I think I'll give others some space here as well. Plus, I may sell some of them at some point and wouldn't want to hear any squawkin about how I'd be asking twenty times what I paid for such things.

I got an 8/8 Wade & Butcher For Barber's Use wedge for $5. She came with some rust and pitting, but I got her cleaned up and shave ready with some help from JoeD and CarrieM. At that point she looked pretty good and was ready to rock, but I subsequently sent her out for restore and rescale (back into some nice black horn) by Brad (Undream).

Back before the old BST was closed down, a wonderfully generous member here PIFed me a Dubl Duck Satinedge which I later PIFed onwards. That same member also hooked me up with a bunch of DE's and SE's which I gave out at a hall program (I was an RA at university) at which I taught my floormates to shave. I speak, of course, of the one and only BlackStangAl aka Big Al.

Two NOS Solingens for $30 (including shipping)- one of which was my daily shaver up until getting my Hess 42. And it still sees active service (I have a rotation, just my "daily shaver" gets used twice or more as much)
