Well here are the packages I have been waiting for. There are some very interesting razors that I will be posting some questions about in the Safety Razor section!

So yeah, I'd be an unmarried man in no time with a collection like that. Still, bravo

Well - It's funny you say that. My wife and I were discussing/arguing about her going on a cruise with her girlfriends. Now she's going on the cruise.

Nice score! Did you buy them from a former collector or something?

Yes - I did. I purchased some razors off of Ebay and when I received the package there was a note asking me if I would be interested in buying his Grandfather's razor collection.

So I did!!!

**copperhead** · 07-28-2008, 10:55 AM

That has to be the score of the week.

**Lefty** · 07-28-2008, 12:50 PM

I do not even want to know how much you spent on that.

I can only say...wow

doleeo · 07-28-2008, 07:42 PM

A combo of last week and this weeks score.

**Antique Hoosier** · 07-28-2008, 08:16 PM

Thiers Issard Silver Steel 6/8 "Loup et Bellier" Straight Razor
Thanks RayG....

**Hawkeye5** · 07-28-2008, 11:50 PM

Got lucky on ebay. I've been looking for a nice W&B, but have been outbid, or just didn't see what I wanted. Took a flyer on some so-so photos and came up with a gem. 15/16ths quarter hollow barber notch with unique engraving. I really don't think the blade has seen a hone. I've polished with MAAS. Some small, minor pits on the reverse of the blade. Bone handles, I think, with no damage. All I need is to hone and use.

**scottydoint** · 07-29-2008, 07:44 AM

For $1.50 + shipping, I won a fatboy and slim on ebay. I can tell from the pic that they have some serious gunk build up and need some serious cleaning, but for $7.80 shipped!!? Here was the item title. "Gillette Speedrazor - Vintage/Old - Set of 2!!!"

**NeckShaver** · 07-29-2008, 09:43 AM

Nice one Antique Hoosier, maybe we should set up a play date...

My new 6/8 TI. Thanks MonkeyBoy

This showed up in my mailbox a couple of days ago

. Zero plating loss to razor, blade case, and razor case. If it was ever used, it must have been only a couple of times. Just used a little dish soap and a soft cloth to clean. The lining was dusty though, but it too cleaned up very nicely. It sure would be nice to live in a time when hotels (and other establishments) gave out nice items like this in appreciation of your business...unfortunately for us, we live in a disposable world.

**johnniegold** · 07-29-2008, 03:30 PM

Got these in from Superlather.com

**BJC** · 07-29-2008, 05:15 PM

Picked this up a few weeks back off of the bay (thanks VR6ofpain for the heads up). It was a birthday gift from my wife to replace my gold/brass NEW. A beautiful razor that gives a great shave - I think this is my favorite razor.
