I bought a Robeson a couple months ago (unique model that I had never seen before). It looked good in the pics, almost no pitting with great striped scales. When it arrived, I discovered about an 1/8 wide strip at the entire edge had vertical grinding marks on it. It had not been discernible in the pics.I worked it and worked it always careful to keep clear of the etching just above. In the end, I quit before I was able to get all the marks out. i can still see some with magnification. Razor honed fine and looks pretty good, but there was no excuse for the treatment it had received!

I send em notes like,,,
" Hey you know if somebody hadn't been so stupid as to mark that rare razor up with grinder marks I would have paid a thousand for it. Do you have any others ? ""
Here is another " If that's NOS my Cocker/Pitbull is pure bred ""
Sorry if any of you guys got a note from me :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Thats a lot of money for an old hone worn razor. I can think of plenty of other razors to buy for that kind of money! Originally Posted by PR357

Just that statement convinces me to always avoid that seller. Originally Posted by rlmnshvstr8
