    Who said there are no good deals left on ebay?

    This Bowdin's Wedge arrived this afternoon. It needed only a light polishing... It cut arm hairs out of the package. It's 5/8 and looks nearly brand new!
    $13.50 shipping included...

    Great find! I like the washers on the scales... not too many more modern razors with those.

    I remember seeing one of those recently, but it looked to be in much worse shape in the pics. Congrats on the nice snag! Bowdin's are great shavers.

    There was one in worse shape in the classifieds the other day. Randy told me those were made by a family owned company in Minnesota IIRC. I've not tried one but that is a nice looking razor and I bet it will shave well.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I believe Randy talked with the grandson of the original Bowdins recently. I agree Bowdins wedges are great razors. Great because they're smaller than most people like which means there are more for me.
