Thread: Some nice SRs Down Under

I was just browsing on eBay and I keep running across this seller, "rspe7027" from Australia...man he has some nice stuff!

rspe7027 on eBay

Anyone have experience with this seller?? How much custom fees are?

Thanks,
Tim

This seller has auctions going on all the time

I have not had any experience buying from him as the razors are a bit out of my price range. But the razors he has look very nice so I am assuming he knows straights

As to customs etc try sending him an email

I have never purchased from this seller but he has some beautiful razors up for sale. If the razor is coming to the U.S. there are no customs fees.
He has a beautiful Puma Gold. The Puma Gold is my number 1 bucket list straight razor.

Oh man! And I JUST promised myself that I'd stop buying blades for a few months and get a bunch restored this month. So much for Holloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years resolutions! Here go my fingers on the keyboard...

I bought a Otto Deutsch off of him, condition was as he said however I had to get it honed. When I tried to use it straight from him there was no way it was shave ready, even my newb honing was better. He was really responsive when I called him up and sounded like he was all right. I am not sure if he was under the impression I was going to hone the razor as I said that I was getting there with my skills.

A very good guy and excellent communicator. I would have no reservations recommending him. I don't think he claims "shave ready" for the most part. He does have some very nice razors. Just look at the pictures!

I've had a fair bit to do with Ron and he's a first class gentleman.

Thats good to know re e bay sellers. We are getting totally ripped off by most retailers of razors in oz. One mob sell a bismarck 6/8 for $174, the other $259. Little wonder so few retailers survive here. Hey thats not the ebony wood model, it's the acrylic scales.

He has a very nice inventory of razors.
Have to resists as December was brutal!

I have him as a "saved seller" so I can drool over his razor porn when nobody is around.
The longer I'm around this hobby the more I seem to gravitate to the higher end razors.

They may be more expensive but in his case I think you get what you pay for.

Question for you guys;
Where the heck does he get all these from anyway???
