Just in time for Christmas presents (for yourself or others), I have decided to part ways with all but one of my straights, and with several DEs and a brush. Note: all straight razors were professionally honed at least once, and competently stropped between shaves. I do NOT warrant any of these as for sure “shave ready,” but they are all capable shavers. Some may need mild touch-up honing before they will meet your shaving needs. Prices for all razors of every type do NOT include shipping. Shipping costs will be estimated online by your location, and cost of shipping will be ADDED to the prices shown. Will ship anywhere in the world provided the buyer pays shipping.
Pics and descriptions follow:
1) Tilquin straight razor. This one was made by Theirs Issard for the Belgian market. 5/8, near full hollow, nice inscription on the blade, proper pin, centers properly. Blade is very slightly warped. Paid $70 for this one. Will let it go for $49 plus shipping.
2) Cheap Chinese “Grandslam” razor. Came completely unusable, but was professionally honed to be a good shaver. Fairly heavy wooden scales. You can buy this type of razor online for probably less than $20, but it takes a lot of work to get it where it will shave well. 5/8, half-hollow, thick spine. Pin is fine, blade centers. This would be a good razor for a beginner, but will likely need to be honed prior to use. Because a beginner might need to send it off for honing, will let it go cheaply; let’s say $11 plus shipping.
