The big Butcher was actually from an ebay score, but it arrived as I got home with the other haul. Every single one of these will be put in my rotation. I also gave the owner my name and number to tell me when they get new ones in. She was the sweetest older lady. She actually had me sit down with her and tell her the things that I look out for when I'm looking at the razors at every angle (edge, honewear, pivot, etc) and after about 5 minutes she thanked me and said, "Now I know what to look for when I pick the next batch up for you!" :dropjaw: I thanked her and she even gave me 20% off without even asking about the price. I know we don't talk price, but each of these were less expensive than a Gold Dollar! Success!
