It sure has, but rest assured that I would not have picked them up if they were overly expensive. Infact you would be shocked as to how much it really cost.

**DonOhio** · 11-30-2009, 03:47 PM

Not all of us would be! :)

**benvh** · 11-30-2009, 06:57 PM

Now you're just rubbing it in...

Nice score!!!

**machine99703** · 11-30-2009, 07:08 PM

I heard those English Tech's are terrible...

Better let me take that one off your hands, I can dispose of it properly....

It seems safe to say that Windsor is now cleaned out of vintage razors. Very nicely done.

**FiXXXer** · 12-01-2009, 08:52 AM

The Gillette on the top right is a ball end New. Nice score!

**slamjet** · 12-01-2009, 09:20 AM

Man! Gotta find me some shops in L.A!

Windsor? Why didn't I think of Windsor! Right across the bridge!

Actually, I doubt many would be shocked at the price. Some are notoriously low. My antique mall highlights include a pristine '38-'45 Tech for $2.97 and a Fat Boy for $8. But that's been soundly trounced by many (recently a Member got a Fat Boy and a Black Tip Super Speed for $6 total).

**brianw** · 12-01-2009, 01:20 PM

Quickly....back away, I will be more then happy to rid you of all that vile booty and dispose of it properly

Hey machine99703 the Tech's are pretty cool, I find that the British ones are slightly heavier than either US or CAN models. However the Fat Hand Tech's are pretty light.

Hey T Rick.. Are you from Detroit?? Yeah it's nice to see these very items which we cherish at a real low price. It really makes you think how bad some us have gotten slammed on Evilbay.. I like this site and would rather see our items expand our shaving community than some fatcat scooping it up low and than selling it on ebay (probably back to one us at an inflated cost).
