    Got it, "don't mess with the system" - here's a pic of my Elliot, "Damascus", the scales had to be replaced, and the sad thing about this blade, is that in it's past, someone honed out the big belly in this blade, would have been a beautiful smiling razor.

So I connected with him but he lived kinda far so everything was by phone we agreed on $1000 for 115 razors, when the package arrived there was only 105 razors I called him and since I got them for 8.70 cents a piece or something like that he took off the 87 dollars... Nice guy

    You know what I remember that razor... Because of the cool notch it had on the toe of the blade... I remember it having no issues

    that dubl duck lifetime and the W&B for barbers use will cover that cost alone(maybe depending on the the condition of the lifetime.) Excellent score, i would have taken it too!

    I like the katana under the workbench !!
    If they were mine, I'd take the razors with rust on them and soak in oil until you get round
    to restoring them.
    Those Ryobi bench bandsaws have a good reputation down here.
    At least one buffer would be a good thing, especially for saving your hands/fingers from cramp.

    you're a lucky man! my wife will look only at razors i expressly show her when i get them in the mail or after a restore... that's about the extent of her interest in the hobby.

    You will see in the workshop often, rush a restore and ruin a blade. Take your time and it will show.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

    A few things I went back and saw missing from your workshop were the hammer and peening surface (anvil, jewelers block, dapping block, etc.), and your lightbox for taking nice pics of your finished work!
