    Nice score! They all look like you could hone them and be good to go. A complete restoration of razors and box would certainly be beautiful and hard, at least for me, not to do. Enjoy.

    Thanks, I know that purchasing razors on ebay is frowned upon by a lot of members here, but it is about the only way I can get them. I also plan to start buying from the classifieds on here from time to time. Now I just have to let my cash reserves build up again!

    Purchasing razors off of ebay is not frowned upon here. SRP veterans simply urge new members to avoid doing so initially because they may not be experienced enough to tell a good versus a bad purchase.

    It appears that you really scored this time around. As was noted previously, hone your ebay score of straight razors and they should be good to go.

    Congratulations.

    Thanks jhenry, I stand, or in this case sit, corrected. I try to make sure I am careful when shopping on ebay, no matter what I am trying to buy.
