Where to find vintage razors

I bought a razor from that euro seller once (he uses the same little stand in every picture) and I'll never buy from him again. Beautiful looking but deffinanty not shave ready and such bad micro pitting in the metal that it coundnt be honed. If it can't be honed by some of the masters here than it's junk. His other razors may be better but I won't take the chance again

Lovely pair of NOS Mitsuon at the auctions at the minute, not a massive amount at the buy it now price of 300 AUD either. I’d have them if I didn’t already have one.

Is it me, or is there a lack of a link to the auction in said post?

I've actually bought 2 razors from the same guys, a mint Iwasaki and a Henckels, both were definitely shave ready and comfortable. The Henckels had a bit of patina but the price was more than fair for what I got.
