    Default Ebay razor description

    This is actually more appropriate for the Joke thread, I guess; here is what the seller said about the razor:

    "THIS IS THE SHARPEST ITEM I HAVE..IT WILL CUT A PAPER TOWEL"



    Cheers

    Weel this lot was described as rare.

    When he sold me the big blade separately, he cautioned me to be very carefull, because it was very sharp.

    I guess sharp is a relative term.
    Of course, since he is obviously not a straight shaver he doesn't know that it is what we call dull. And this way I couldn't sue him for not telling me I could cut myself with it.

    Bruno - I don't know if it is really rare, but as I said in the other thread I have not seen a bigger Electric and I have been watching them for a while.

    So he might have been right.

    Here's a tidbit for you: an Electric w/ the owl and moon relief scales sold for over $300 several months ago. (It wasn't because of the blade - the scales did the trick - so I hope people don't start bidding crazy on any Electric they see)

    Cheers

    How can you see the blade is an electric?

    Hm, maybe I got a steal - again.
    It almost seems as if I cannot buy a rusted blade without uncovering something special.
    First the 0.99$ John Barber (which is REALLY cleaning up nicely btw. I'll post pictures when it is ready) and now this.

    Heh, I've posted this before, but this seller thinks that the razors are in good condition, and that they were surgeon scalpels and the grinds were used to scoop out organs. Oh, and I forgot to mention the outrageous price for the junkers.
