Insanity!

Thanks for posting this. I will try to see him tomorrow. He is about 50 miles from me.

Road trip!

Awesome! If you grab them and want to sell any keep me in mind for a good deal!

If you need a co-pilot let me know!

I am in Minneapolis! Do you produce? I see a production studio there!

Yes he does!

Rock/punk/blues bands mostly, soon to be mobile

It's on the high side for a collection that large, but $22 per razor is hardly insanity if they are all in good condition.

I was thinking the same. Usually razor lots on ebay go for around $12 a straight (give or take a couple of dollars) but you'd expect that these are in pretty good condition if he's prepared to put them in display cases like he's showing in the pictures. All you need is a Filarmonica or two, a few nice Solingen blades, perhaps a few Case straights and you're well ahead.

At $22 a straight, I'd be happy to contribute to a group buy if anyone else was interested.

Yep. I agree. But,it is, as always, maker, size, embellishments and condition, condition, condition.

Just checked completed sales on Ebay for the last 2 weeks. 2/3 sold for $25 or less.
