    Default Newbies pay attention

    Even though this auction ended, it is a perfect example of what NOT to bid on if purchasing a razor on eBay. There is not one pic of the blade up close. The few pics of the blade you can see it is well worn. All you see is some BAD pics of scales, the inscription on the handle, and the box.

    Great tip! When I bought my first razor, (I know there will be more!) I did a little homework using advice and reviews from this site. I try to stay away from the 'bay because a lot of times items there are a little too good to be true.

    I seen enough to know the tang is bigger than the blade. Both probably just as sharp as the other .

    Yes, a little homework goes a long way to finding a serviceable first razor.

    That particular piece wouldn't even be suitable as a letter opener. It isn't just worn into the shoulder, it's worn into the tang!
