    Well, I sold off a ton of stuff from my den that doesn't see any use. Those funds pretty much were all sent to the Isle of Mann as fast as they came in. :)

    A nice little lot, I was mostly interested in the blade dispensers. But the Gem and the injector could be fun too!

    Indian Old Spice aftershave and shaving cream. All the talk made me curious, and it was affordable...

    Restored Genco. Sent it out for a hone, but it had cell rot starting behind the pin.

    That is a really nice bargain lot. Meaning the price was a bargain - the lot is awesome.

    I've heard the Gold Dollars are made from good steel, and if you get one that has been reworked by an expert, they are good razors.

    Yeah..The Guy that I got it from is in his late 60s..He sent me a PM yesterday & said it will shave from the Box..He reckons the edge on these will hold for at least 6 months with daily stropping & bit of paste occasionally..I wont be using it anything like daily..He also said that you need a particular set of skills to hone these ones & advised me to send it back to him at a Low Cost..Happy Days by the Sounds of it..:)

    Do these come shave ready from China or only if purchased from U.S. seller ? If so who ?

    I got mine from a UK Seller that has Reworked this razor and set the bevel..They are not shave ready when they come from China..Some need a lot of work apparently...This USA EBay seller does them with a Guarantee..:)

    Yeah, @Billyfergie is spot on. They do not come shave ready, and only a percentage of them can be made shave ready. Generally experts will buy ten to twenty of them, looking for the five or so that are fixable. As for where to get them already fixed...no clue.

    I should either be really happy...or worried...that I'm always the only one that bids on these old metal cartridge razors.
    This one was $5...and the one I bought before this about $1.

    This is a Wilkinson WII by Sir Kenneth Grange (again) and is, along with the Protector, my favorite types of handle.

    This lot was mostly to flip. I know of the rolls razor and I know about the gem ( looks nos?) but these two other razors.. I'm not familiar with. They are unusual to me.
