Wolfman Auction

Wouldn’t you agree that any Razor or Brush upwards of over $100 is a disposable income / luxury item?  How about software with a cost of $10 per ounce? Fragrance with a cost of $200 an ounce? 

“Placing the wait list on hold, working on new designs, updating website and planning to have occasional limited edition auctions on his website” is a brilliant idea. Wolfman and Declaration generated hard core Marketing through auctions for their World Class goods, is that wrong? I personally think those Gents got it RIGHT with “trying” NEW things. I own a B5 and I WANT another.  I have an incomplete Copper Wolfman kit and if that were a Copper kit on auction at the Wolfman site I would be participating

Maybe James wants to take a few weeks break and go fishing? Maybe his intentions are to resume the wait list after a short break with new and exciting offerings? It’s his business and is entitled to take a holiday like the rest of us

In keeping with the times AND trying new things…… I think that “is” the reality and proactively staying relevant

I respect your opinion, this is what we do here in this community, we kick back with intelligent discussion like Gentlemen

Well said

Was on $975 when last checked

I saw 1000 at the last second.

I have to assume anyone bidding had emailed him to find out the gap....imagine
not liking the shave and trying to recoup your outlay on BST...yikes!

Gap is .61

Haha … no not me

Auctions may be new to the razor world but not in the world of custom knives. I just watched one man auction 2 folding pocket knives for a total like $15,600 on IG just today. And I bet they will be safe queens.

Puts a little perspective on a $1,000 2015 NOS Wolfman straight from the mothership, no? At least the razor would get used.

The secondary point here is, to a collector, sometimes price doesn't matter. Nor does gap. Nor does finish. There are a lot of wealthy individuals in the world.

We actually play in a relatively cheap hobby men, even the most ravenous of our individual shave den investments in gear might also get you 2 perfectly crafted, butter smooth pocket knives from your favorite bladesmith. Depending on your bladesmith, of course. I've seen knives that a $15k offer might get you punched in the mouth.

It's all relative. If anyone can unleash the heavy hitters in the DE world, you'd be a fool to bet against James DuFour. I've kinda seen this coming for a while. Suggested a "bench series or full on custom" a couple times. Auctions tho is where an artisan can capture the full value of his work. DuFour undervalued his work for years. He will soon be able to see just how much meat he left on the bone. Good for him too.

Sheesh...can you image what a one off BBS1 in alternate materials, say brass, would be worth to the right guy? Please.
