this razor caught my eye. Don't know how well I did but I liked it and wound up winning. Good thing this type stuff is easy to hide from the wife although she came home with another one of those pocket books that were on sale. I hate when she tells me how much money she saved me.....

It's really nice.I had it on my watch list but it went a bit higher than I had to work with.As far as how you did, that depends on how much you wanted it and how much you have to spend.No one can tell you if you did good or bad but you.
Ummmmm, wow. Very sweet, and I think you bought it right. Congrats.
That is a fine looking razor! I would like to have one .
I'd say a big part of the price you paid is the collector value to having one brand new with all the wrappings. A really nice one that's been used would probably go for about half that. But so long as you are happy with it and still able to put a roof over your head and food on the table, who cares, right?
They are, by the way, fantastic shavers. I have a 133 and also a 132 in my own rotation. You're gonna love using her (assuming you choose to do so).
I don't know if you have hones/honing skill of your own, but I might as well offer: If you need that razor honed, I'll do it for you if you'll cover shipping... Spine taped to keep it pristine (or tapeless, if that's your preference). From the looks of it's condition, I'd guess it only needs a touchup on the 8k/12k..
Dunno if you need it or not, but I might as well offer.
cheers,
