Update 16/05: Despite the horror of selling on ebay, I've made the funds needed for the Weber so I'm closing this sale now, primarily to keep the boards neat and tidy!
Update 30/04: Since I've just bought Al's braveheart, and no one is biting on the Weber trade, I've added prices to the items in the hope that I can just raise the funds to buy one.
After "exhausting the funds" for this month (and probably next month's as well) I have to resort to trying to trade for two of the razors on my wishlist - the Weber and theBraveheart from Executive shaving.
I honestly don't mind which Weber it is and my preference would be for it to have a handle, but that wouldn't be set in stone.
I will list what I have for trade, then give a description below and link to an album for each. The albums should contain a number of high definition photos that you can click on for more detail.
For trade I have the following:
"Main" items:
F3 (1960) Fatboy - £55 WITHDRAWN and off to ebay.
G3 (1961) Fatboy - £55
Ever Ready Streamline with case - £55 WITHDRAWN and off to ebay.
"Extra Items":
Edwin Jagger DE86 - £15 SOLD
Gillette Long Comb New (made in USA) - £10
Schick Band Razor with Band Cartridge - £20
Art of Shaving Sandalwood Shaving Set - Pre-shave, Cream, Post Shave and Pure Badger Brush - £20
I think the fairest trade would be1 "main item" for the Braveheart and "1 main item" + 1 "extra item" for the Weber, but please let me know if you think it's unfair and we can negotiate.
Main items:
F3 (1960) Fatboy- £55: Withdrawn
This is a good user grade Fatboy. I have used this razor and it shaves just as well as my other Fatboy. All the numbers click cleanly and the paint is present on each. There is slight pitting and marking on the doors and handle, but no plate loss as far as I can see. It has a stiffer first quarter turn than the other Fatboy and it has a slightly lazy door that I've tried to capture in the album. Album: http://imgur.com/a/DDR9u
G3 (1961) Fatboy - £55:
This is a fair user grade Fatboy. As above, I have used this razor and it shaves fine. The numbers click evenly and the paint is present in each. There is plate loss on the edges of the silo doors and in the blade tray. The handle, however, is one of the brightest I've seen and still retains a nice shine. The first quarter turn is smoother than the F3 above.

Ever Ready Streamline With Case - £55:WITHDRAWN and off to ebay.
This is one of my favourite razors - definitely my favourite SE. The build quality of this is fantastic and the shine off them has to be seen to be believed. This example is very nice, although it does have a thin strip of plate loss on the very bottom of the handle. Otherwise it is great and shaves beautifully. It comes with the lovely metal (chromed?) case with a metal blade holder. The case isn't the tidiest, but it is clean enough.
