Just won a lot on e-bay that included the following straights:

7/8 Thiers Issard Sheffield silver steel with wooden scales;
6/8 Dovo Swedish steel classic;
7/8 Wacker Bartman with what appear to be rosewood scales;
6/8 Henckels.

According to the description, the Thiers, Wacker and Henckels were all professionally sharpened within the last month.

The lot also included:

A Dovo linen/leather strop;
A Thiers padle strop;
White and yellow Dovo pastes (linen and leather dressing);
Syringes of 1 and .5 micron diamond abrasive paste
Norton 4k/8k hone.

Here's the link to the auction so you can see the pictures:

In talking to the company that sold the items, it appears that someone decided to try out straight shaving, spent a lot of dough on top quality stuff and then decided it wasnt' for them.

I can't wait for this stuff to arrive!

FOUR packages in the mail today - two from the States, one from the UK and one from Germany:

-from Saint-charles, Missouri: cool limes soap, coconut cream and a soap that smells like glühwein to me (a gift from Sue, a very fine lady)
-Simpson PJ2 best
-TOBS Mr Taylor cream
-TOBS sandalwood cream (trying to forget Scotto's vivid description of the scent

)
-barber saloon rose soap (gift from TomH, a very fine gentleman)
-Nomad cream (thanks again to Rik, who worked things out).

A great day for me, and once again a moment to gratefully contemplate my luck in being a B&B member.

Thanks DJ. I was pretty pleased - I've never spent that much on an e-bay lot before, but I couldn't pass it up.

I've got hanging and padle strops, so will likely be looking to sell the ones in the lot.

Great score, Raf. Do go easy, at first. It's a whole different ball game.

By the way- if your Shumate says Shumate Cutlery Co., it was made between 1920 and 1932. If it says Shumate Razor Co., St. Louis, it was made between 1904 and 1919. If it says Austin, Texas, then it's from 1900-1904.
