What are the top 10 vintage razors you would like to get

That is a very cool looking razor, that HR-1P.
As for myself, I have to wait till it gets here, but my wishlist is one shorter. Unfortunately, I have also found a model very necessary for my slantcollection, so the wishlist is one longer. No net gain therefore.
 
You guys got me interested in Slants and plastic toy razors aka "Bakelite razors". I even bought a vintage wooden razor from Japan.
Question for you guys, I started looking into slants but one guy put a Fasan at 130 Euros and a Bohin (not slant but with bakelite box) at 600 Euros. Are these reasonable prices? Because if they are, then I have to reconsider going into that direction. Just revert back to I concentrate on. Historical significance and creative engineering.

The first disposable razor was a wooden women's razor, the E-Kon-I-Me, made by Woodward Williams in 1917.

The Bohin is overpriced, even when not considering the little Alum-container is the wrogn size for this set. 300 would be acceptable.
The Fasan: depends on what type.For some, it's way overpriced, for some it's a great deal.

Where the Bohin listed? EBAY USA?
I've got one recently, but needs a case.
 
If I remember correctly I once payed around €35 for a NOS fasan, €15 for a really used one in a leather travel bag, and around €20 for another nice travelset (see the fasan thread).

But I guess I really got lucky and to have patience. The used one with the slightly discoloured handle is the only one I have used. It feels smoother then the phoenix tribute.

$1200-$1600 according to Hazelkorn.
Yes - I know...
$100k seems a bit steep. North of $10k seems probable though.

100k is way off. We don't have the very wealthy people in this hobby. But if the wealthy get into the hobby. Then we'd better buckle up, or better, stock up.
The HR-1P is probably a prototype. Didn't belong to any set and they didn't bother cut it up. No information on it. Renzo has 1 I think.

I found one for 54 euros. Seems much more reasonable. Honestly since I am not used to the bakelite razors, I though they will be selling for 9.99$ or you get one free if you buy a pack of blades. This stuff is proving expensive for what it is.

All i wanted was a Mikron and a Darwin. Christmas came and went, just had a milestone birthday the other day, and no razors :( .
I did get a radar detector, so i guess I'll have to just buy my own with advanced ticket savings!

I always wanted to know what people are looking for. If you have only 3 or five you're looking for that's fine too.

Here are mine in no particular order (Let me know if you have one of them):
  • Monks razor
  • Fontaine razor
  • Thy-lo
  • Multiplex
  • Razor six
  • Sport/Sparto
  • Auguste bain (L-Shaped)
  • Rosen Razor
  • Mann's razor
  • Rythmic Razor

I was able to get those:
  • Multiplex
  • Razor six
  • Auguste bain (L-Shaped)
  • Mann's razor
  • Rythmic Razor
2 years and a half later since posting this thread.

The problem is that my new top 10 list contains 5 more razors.
