So, SWMBO has laid down the law, and I must part with a few of my choicest straights, even though it pains me. *sigh*
First up, one of my first, which I've been hanging onto for some time, but just don't use enough to justify keeping it. It is a F. Reynolds, faux frameback, 6/8 with a barber's notch. It comes shave ready, as I received it, and is not only a sight to behold, but a great shaver as well. I haven't had a chance to take recent photos, but I've only used it a few times - so it is in essentially the same shape as the photos from the original sale, courtesy of gugi (please do let me know if you object to my borrowing of the original pictures). Long story short, it was purchased by another member who generously sold it to me for the price he paid, and I will pass it on for that same price, in the spirit of B&B.:thumbup:
$145 $130 shipped CONUS, elsewhere at cost.

Next up, a Japanese Kikuboshi frameback with covered tang. The blade itself appears to have two different polish levels, which makes for an interesting picture. I have not had a chance to send this one out, so it does not come shave ready. Lastly, the blade requires guiding as it does not center in the scales, per the last picture.
$100 shipped CONUS, elsewhere at cost.
(sorry for the pictures, my white balance was way off, and I was in a hurry)
