Thread: Some good finds on the Bay

Here's my latest acquisitions, all from the mantra "bid low, bid often" - it works! There's an 8/8+ Celebrated Cast Steel Razor, 7/8 I. Barber, and a WR Wade and Butcher. And a vintage natural combo Coticule for $25 Once I get back to the workshop I'll put everything up in the Customs and Restos forum. Unfortunately the scales on the Wade and Butcher are shot. Really wanted to keep those, but at least all the flower washers are there.

Scored!!! those are amazing finds my friend.

Holy Crap dude, you stole those! Nice buy!

What hidden corner of evil bay were you shopping in?

Very nice!! love those stub tails!!

its a shame those scales are busted up, they would have looked amazing when redone. Wicked score either way

Haha most of them I had to take a risk on due to crappy pictures, I just got really lucky, especially the coticule - only the beat up brown side was really shown. But turns out its a sick finisher. Still honing all the chips out of that WB though...

Yeah I was mad about that, but I think I got them close to the originals (http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...storation.html)

I have one decent period scale that I might use with a repro for the I Barber. I think the 8/8 might get a nice burl, I've got so much in brown horn already.
