Thread: Please DON'T buy this razor

I'd place a max bid in the closing seconds and let it ride. Always a thrill when you win. If not, someone else wanted it more. No biggie. There will always be more.

I'm tempted to bid on it just because I think your being silly. It looks a little frowny with some chips in the edge so I'll pass on this one. Don't let yourself get too wrapped up in and emotional about a purchase, there will always be another equally charming razor to claim your attention, always.

Let's hope you r not right.

The razor does look a little messy but all of you keep mentioning one thing makeing it worth at least something. The fact that no one has seen a razor from the Netherlands. I like it because it says bulldog an I own two AB's (American Bulldogs) but I will stay away because you asked sir!

Thank you very much sir.

No problem.

There were a few razors manufactured in the Netherlands, Bastet comes to mind. I have one of the later ones, a very nice shaver.
gribbo, sometimes it is better to spend a bit more and save yourself a lot of grief, probably not one to learn on going by photos.

I've seen posts such as the OP in the past. I've always responded that all is fair in ebay and razors. I'd outbid my own mother, with a snipe ! ........ if I really wanted the razor. The last thing I would do is call attention to whatever the obscure object of desire was.

Good luck with it, hope you score, and that it meets your expectations.

That is good to know since the Vikings an the Japanese know their steel.

Your better off getting a low cost used razor from the classifieds here than taking a chance on a razor before you even know how to shave with one , plus you more than likely won't be able to achieve a shave ready condition on it , learn to shave with one that is ready before going off on a waste of time , But then again waste your money if you want, but then again you said you didn't want to spend a lot, so take the advise or don't , but you can get a better one ready to go for less than your going to have in it, stones ,, sandpaper polishing materials , and not knowing a good razor from bad will have you spending more. ,, good luck.
