    sorry for the crappy pics.

    After you apply some polish and elbow grease, you'll have some fine OCs. Congrats

    The only problem now is that your beard won't grow fast enough to try each one.
    Shave yourself.

    Nice haul! That's way more than I snagged last week! I got a Tuckaway and a NEW DeLuxe Belmont as well. I haven't shaved with the Tuckaway yet, but I used a NEW DeLuxe Criterion with some Feathers and have my first Rapira in the Criterion ready to go tonight. You look like you' have your hands full through the weekend cleaning and probably the next month or two trying them all out. Enjoy it, the cleanup, identification & sampling of a new find is probably my favorite part of this hobby!

    It was a collection that someone was selling. Did not pay more than $20 per razor.
