A number of straights for sale, all taken from my personal collection.
1. Two Swedish blades, both 6/8", would approximate these to be between 1/2 and qtr. hollow.
Good to very good condition, blade opens/closes smoothly.
These are accurate yet mild and forgiving blades, ideal for starters.
$60 for both (shipped).

2. Two misc. blades, 5/8" square point and 6/8".
First is a German Oxford Razor Warranted, from Germania Cutlery Works in Germany.
I would approximate it to 1/2 hollow.
This is very good shaver (for its cost), but reportedly a b*tch to hone.
I am not sure whether the scales are original.
The blade is 'grayed' but this was more or less the condition 3 years back when I purchased it.
Good condition, opens/closes smoothly.

Second is a British blade from George Butler & Co. at Trinity Works, Sheffield.
Wedge grind, 'smiling' edge. Tang pin could use a bit of tightening.
$40 for both (shipped).

3. Le Grelot Hospital 6/8 full hollow, Thiers, Cocobolo scales.
The scales are (naturally) not original.
Sweet shaver, comes shave-ready.
$110 shipped.

^^ Thank you for the kind words, gents.
Price updates (reductions in a couple of items) and clarifications.
Just a side note, I am moving house mid-week so in case there's a slight delay in any response please bear with me.
I withdrew the Brit and the TI frameback (oiled them, etc.) as they go into storage along with all the rest of the collection, thought I should give those a solid chance when time comes.
Many thanks again for viewing.
