Bought some honey horn from the same gent I got my stacked washers from. Thicker slabs than from robbsbits but they turned out very nicely on my first try. Used em on a Joseph Rodgers restore I did a month back.
Nice colour to em.

Well, until about a couple weeks ago i had 30 or so. Then I saw this big collection on the Bay, so I sold my motorcycle that my wife was terrified of me riding anymore after I laid it down on the highway needing stitches in places that I couldn't reach to sew myself up , and I got the lot. Now she says I have an addiction. But that's better than a drug addiction I told her. Hmm
There were about 125 razors in the collection. Some amazing razors too, most though were so so, but a whole lot of random manufacturers, so that's cool. I told myself I would sell 3/4 of them but have grown sentimental.. would it be right? Out of respect for a fellow brother of the blade, could I break up his collection? I don't know.

Amazing Mike, I missed that one!!! I couldn't have afforded it anyway so I'm glad a fellow member got it. I have a few W&B's but I have more Greaves than anything.

Ok.. I've been quite.
So here's were im at with shorty.
All's done except, beveling and applying the finish, I'm thinking multiple coats of tounge oil in gloss finish.

Scales that is..

That's lookin' good Mike! Different scale design. I love it!!!!!

Maybe MikeT (he of the 50 W&Bs) is the answer to the question posed in this thread about W&B prices:http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...nny-story.html

Funny thing. I've noticed W&B prices have increased quite a bit, especially the big bladed ones are going well over $300. I even saw a W. Greaves with a larger than 8/8 blade go for I think it was more than $330 just the other day. I got all mine a much longer time back when they were cheaper. I stopped by a resale shop on my way home Saturday coming from my mothers birthday party & asked the guy if they had any straight razors & he told me they had quite a few but someone came by & bought ALL of them one day.

I was joking Steve
