    Default Found at Antique store, are any of these good?

    I found a bunch of Straight razors at an antique shop, most of these look to be in good to very good shape. I'm still new, so looking for advice on weather these are good prices or not.

    Boker Pearl, Pearl tang and blade ingraved with "Pearl" 40 dollars
    Wostenhol Tally Ho horn scales 45 dollars
    Gibson Deamon brown marbled scales (celluloid) 45
    Solingen Redhead 45
    Genco fluid steel 45
    H. boker no 1101 blade etched to say "india fine steel"

    Are any of these worth picking up at these prices?

    I'd appreciate any advice.

    Right.

    If they are in good condition you have there some nice razors, like the Wostenholm, the Boker and the Genco. These are highly appreciated brands and provide great shaves.

    As for the price, it depends on the condition they are - rust amount, pitting, hone wear, chips, cracks, scales condition, etc. There are so many aspects to look...
    Best regards
    Visit my shop www.VintageScent.com for Semogue brushes, straight razors and more.

    Some of those brands are highly regarded but they are readily available on eBay. We need photos to gauge whether it's worth it to buy from the store.
