    Question bargin or fake

    hey guys first post here, i have been getting cut throat shaves from my barber for a while and decided to give it a try myself, my barber has loaned me a freshly sharpened and honed vintage razor which i have been using to practice with and i have been keeping an eye out for something i like to get me started. i have come across this on ebay and thought it was a great deal?? maybe to good.

    Welcome to SRP. Looks like the real McCoy to me .......... OTOH, does seem too good to be true. You pays your money and you takes your chances. If paypal in Aus is anything like it is here in the USA you'll be able to get your $ back if it is not what they say it is.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ebay & Paypal money back policy is extremely reliable, as my experience shows. If you open a case on time and follow the simple procedure, you'll have your money back in no time.
    Take note that if you're not satisfied with the item and want a refund, the seller can (and probably will) ask you to return the item at your own expanse.

    I wish I could have seen this. The subject of "fake" razors comes up now and again, but I have never seen one that actually turned out to be fake. Ever.

    the problem with the paypal money back thing is that it only applies when you didn't receive the bought object. worse case scenario, the seller can refuse a refund or refund partially (-shipping costs). fortunately I never had that happen to me

    That has not been my experience. I have gotten money back twice when things obviously were not as described.
