Thread: Okay, fine. I got an 8/8 razor.

So I didn't even think about the price. Just instantly hit the BIN... And I am normally a total cheapskate. That was double what I've paid for any other single-razor. I doubt I'll get another Ascher, so I might as well have dropped a stack to get that one.

Man I should have bought it and sold it to you for a premium

You totally missed your chance!

Now if you can find me an 1822 Thomas Scargill in tortoise scales with an original double-thumb notch and a blade etching with Ebenezer Rhodes' name crossed out, I'll pay anything you ask!

I'll hit the antique stores tomorrow

Just wanted to say I like your razor. And I appreciate you posting it.
