I was wondering which are the most desirable or collectable vintage straights so I'm asking the experts here. I know Wade & Butcher seems to be in demand, what would be the say top five? Thanks in advance for your help.
Which Straights are most Desirable?

The next one! Seriously, Stan- good to see you on the straight forum. Someone here with far more experience than I will give you a much better answer than I. Hope all is well and Happy Thanksgiving. If you ever want to try one, I have a W&B, a Henkels, and a Joseph Rogers I'd be happy to run by the hospital for you to borrow.
Mk 33
Henckels
Case
Boker
One I really like is Waterville, though you don't see many around.

Swedish always go for good money. Kamisori with well known makers. Big Sheffield choppers.
And some custom makers have waiting lists of years.

German; DORKO, F W ENGELS, PUMA, BOKER, WACKER, REVISOR, etc. Swedish; C V Heljstrand, KLAS TORNBLOM, etc. English; WADE & BUTCHER. And IVORY & METAL SCALED! these are my ideas. forgive my spelling it is late.
Anything slightly unusual/interesting in good condition.
If I had to pick one hallmark of an expensive razor though.... Damascus.

I will put some razors for sale soon. Those are very, very highly desirable.
I own most of the above, and I would trade sell and swap them all except my Japanese western style razors.
You want to be careful with those. They say that you can catch Asian 'flu from using them. Please send them over to me in Belgium for proper decontamination and subsequent disposal.
I have to say that I'm looking for a lovely old Japanese razor and they would fit the bill perfectly. How about I swap you a nice NOS Filly for a couple of them!
Why? Just curious.
