Shipping included CONUS. International to currently active SR posters at my actual shipping cost.
Shave ready? Let's say NO. Even if I've been using them your needs/expectations are almost certainly different than mine — my skin is not particularly sensitive and my beard is not particularly challenging. I'm assuming you'll put your own edge on them and you should assume that too
A. $80 Bismarck Spitzenqualitat 6/8
B. $75 Boker Unrivalled 11/16
C. $115 Paul Drees Sistrum 6/8
D. $40 Clauberg Brothers 5/8 ish
E. $60 Rocket 1000 frameback
F. $75 Hoshi Tombo unnumbered frameback
G. $55 unknown Solingen "Best Silver Steel" 7/8
H. $350 Koraat 7/8
I. $150 Ribbon 1000 6/8
The Koraat and Sistrum are very close to NOS (I've used them a couple times, so not really NOS any more) with the Bismarck pretty close. Everything else has some age, restoration (not by me) or other cosmetic personality I am an amateur and relative novice — if you find something I missed or should have disclosed that would have been a deal-breaker had you known, pack it right back up before using and return it for a refund. Life's too short to be needlessly unhappy.
If you need more or better photos let me know and I will try my best to get better phone snaps.
