    Default Shipping Costs! I'd Buy it, But..

    Vintage Straight Razor Bengall Imperial Cadman AND Sons Sheffield | eBay

    I've been looking for a smaller Bengall, but US $55.00 shipping is crazy! I can't find an "Ask the seller" button . (Edit: found it.) What's the deal here? I recently picked up something from England for US $11.00 shipping.

    No figuring shipping costs, and the one and only I got from Canada took forever to arrive. The edge on that one looks a bit rough, you may be better to look at one state side. Pay a bit more, save on postage.

    As Graze said, it looks like there could be a lot of honing there. I'd leave it severely alone at that price point!

    There seems to be some corrosion on the bevel edge, under the "P" in Imperial.
    For that reason alone, I'd look elsewhere. Total price $85.00 ?.... You'll find better, cheaper

    I've occasionally seen this scam before. The seller inflates the shipping charge to pad his profits and does not have to pay any percentage fee on the shipping.

    That mark under the "P" looks like my Buck Esquire after my buddy Beaver borrowed it to jump start his Nissan truck in high school one night.
