Thread: Not sure if it's a steal or a bad deal.

No that one, I would definitely pass, it looks like the beginnings of Cell Rot. Best case you will lose all the gold wash cleaning that one up. For sure contact our members in Bulgaria for some hands on advice.

I've seen better for less if you are looking for a good shave there are much better deals out there. If I did it all over again get a good quality for your first then shop for the one you can't live without.

There are plenty of sites that sell new razors, shave ready. Also the classifieds have good razors constantly. I may have something you'd be interested in as well. Send me a PM if you want to know more.

We don't do appraisals here. All of those razors are useable or can be restored. The issue is whether or not each of them is of sufficient worth in their current condition to justify the posted prices. We should not be addressing that given that we don't do appraisals here even in this end-around manner.

Agreed.

With few posts, the OP is searching to see if shown razors are summarily in given price ranges.
Any advise given would therefore seem as appraisals, as it were.

I would see nothing wrong, however, with the OP simply posting the razors and not posting numbers.

Filarmonicas lack meat to cope with too much around the bevel so you have to be on maximum guard.... kind of like buying an old jaguar.. never look at one with blinders always a magnifying glass

That puma has some nasty rot as well...

You cannot go wrong with a new Ralf Aust from SRD. I have the 5/8 round point ($100 new) and it is a wonderful shaver. Then you have no doubts about the edge being shave ready. That removes a big variable.
