    Default Please DON'T buy this razor

    I'd like to ask you, the members of this fine site to aid me indirectly.
    I really like this razor. No. I love this razor and i really would like to have it.
    So i figured that it's a better chance to just ask you guys for help instead of just hoping that no one is gonna bid at the last minute.

    I do not have a lot of money so the price at the moment + postage is ok for me ( maybe i could do a little more if i have to but i'd rather not) so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't bid on it.

    All yours AFAIC. There is some pitting, it appears, on and near the edge. Could be troublesome to find clean metal to get a good edge...

    Happy bidding, but no bids will come from me. Heed the advice above before buying it though...

    Interesting, this is a razor made in the Netherlands. Never seen one before. Due to rust you won't be able to clean the blade well without losing most or all of the etching.

    Good luck, but we're not the only people who bid on razors on ebay, so there could always be others who can outbid you if they are willing to pay more than you.
    That's just how it is, but you should stick to your budget, there will be more razors and eventually you'll get one at your desired price. You may also have more money later.

    You should improve your bidding strategy as well. Placing one low bid early on can be quite useful, but you should place the maximum you are willing to pay in the last 5-10 seconds before the auction closes.

    I am definitely not advertising the add. As I said in the first post - I just thought it would be more comforting for me if I asked u guys not to outbid me than just hoping that u won't. I see that some of u don't like the razor. Maybe u r right. But to be honest I've seen pictures of razors in way worse condition and some of you still managed to get them in usable condition. I'm hoping that if no one outbid me I'll manage to fix whatever is wrong with it and use it.
    Sure I'd love to get myself a brand new Dovo that has been honed by a master of the trade but that's not happening.
