Thread: razor lot market value

Allow me to begin by introducing myself, i am slowhandsteady, a new member and long time user of this site, I became interested in straight razors about 3 years ago, and have since been eating up as much information as i can on the topic, in doing so i have amassed several razors that i i no longer need. See, my appreciation for the straight razor came from my of love things efficient and simple, and in a recent realization, i found that having surplus of razors not capable of shaving with is neither simple nor efficient. which leads me to the purpose of the thread, i have 7razors that are of little or no real value to me, other than being a constant source of bleeding fingertips and much to the shagrin of my lovely wife, pieces i can leave on a table and forget bout.M questions lie not in manufacturing, or blade compisitions, or history of a particular company, rather the realistic value of the pieces. i have done as much scouting and eb@y hounding and tracing as i can and have not been able to come up with a fair ballpark figure to sell these razors for. So i turn to you, the experts, or anyone with a better idea than me.



i have
1) a durham duplex shavette with cream celluloid handles good condition

2) a Genco grant with cream scales and metal bolsters 4/8. great
condition

3) an american products company, of cincinnati ohio, #1008 with faux tortoiseshell scales 3/8

4) 5/8 pre dovo bismarck in excellent condition with cream scales and "bismarck regiestered" inlayed in scales

5) wade & butcher " the celebrated hollow ground razor for barbers use" on blade " "manufactured wade and butcher sheffield"8/8 with chipped black bone handles, blade has one 1/4" x 1/16 nick in the cutting edge

6) "bismarck razor works solingen germany" #602 6/8 with some remaining gold wash in exc condition

Unfortunately we are not allowed to ask or give pricings/valuations of razors in the open forum.

Just list them on ebay and you will get the current market price.

my normal way of doing things on ebay is start them at what you would be willing to let them go for at the minimum.
