Thanks guys. I got lucky, most of the lots go for crackhead prices. The original boxes are a nice touch. The Clauss, Torrey, Bowdin and Bismark need only cleaning, light polishing and honing. The others will need a bit of sanding.
The Bismark most impressed me when I held it. That thing has a good feel to it.

Don't sell that Clauss short. I really don't care for full hollows BUT I have a 5/8 Clauss full hollow square point that will shave with the best of my beloved old Sheffield wedges. Originally Posted by eod7

You will also be happy with that Bismarck. There is a reason it had a good feel to it, Bismarcks give excellent shaves. Mine are some of my best shavers.
