    Default What is your best razor score ever?

    Just curious what was the best deal you ever had on a razor. Lets skip all the common razors like SS, Slims, Fatboys and such.

    Best score was a chrome Toggle in Excellent condish for $75. Supposedly this is rarer than the 195 bottom dial fatboys.


    Second best was a Never used #66 Aristocrat for about $80.



    Third best is a Never used Early Executive $87 that I am waiting to arrive in the mail.

    I'm not sure I'd agree, certainly rare but I've seen more of them than the 195 Prototype. I purchased my Silver Toggle before my Gold one.

    However, we are talking about our best score ever so I'd have to say my 58' D3 Fatboy for $3.00 and my 195 for less than I can feed my kids at McDonalds. Then it would have to be my mint NOS Exposition Model New for $25.00
    Shoot, I could keep going but I guess I'd have to call these my best, sort of.

    Sorry for the rough pictures, this was back when I did not know how to use the camera. I really should take some new ones.....

    EDIT: Yes I have payed a lot more for many of my razors as well...

    I guess my best is my $10 President or my $20 cased Bostonian.

    (both bought on the same day)

    Best $10 I've ever spent.


    I wonder what 10 bucks would have got me in 1905?

    Second would be the "very good" New Standard in a nearly perfect case with blade vault. No pics yet, but it's the best $3 I've ever spent.

    Guess my best 2 were a Toggle [well used but tight] for $31 and an Aristocrat for $10.

    I'd say my best so far would be a pair of Gold Toggles (one very minty one near mint) both for <$80 total. I'm also very fond of my minty D3 and D4 Fatboys (sorry Tim, I know you said no FatBoys, but I love those razors) oh and please not I paid considerably more for them than that lucky Ray fella!.

    I just snagged a #66 for 17 bucks but couldn't see the condition beyond the handle (which looked good so figured what the hell). I'll find out in a couple of weeks probably.

    I'm sorta nervous that someone will try to piss in the seller's ear if I post the actual link. Irrational, but there you go.

    This is the picture I had to work with.

    That is great. Don't be surprised if it is in near mint condition

    My best would have to be a when I traded a set of straight razors for a mint toggle in case, and a mint 1908 single ring with shipper... and i got the straights for free ("old junk")

    Not like you would disclose confidential information but....where the hell
    are all these found ? I just want a nice silver Tuckaway....or a New Standard (silver of course) with a nice clean case.

    To top it off I have the $$ to spend (within reason)

    Nice, nice razors.......

    P.M. me if anyone is selling quality cased razors, like the above mentioned without taking a second out on my house.

    My cased Fatboy with instructions for A$9.95 if you halve that then thats roughly how much I paid in US dollars.
