"Picked Over" or "Over Picked"?
...That may be one of my more lame attempts at a clever/nutshell title :shrug:.
The purpose of this thread: To show examples of razors, or other vintage items, that have been scooped up, then sold by people that simply trying to make a quick buck. Their heart is not in it. Or they don't have the aptitude for proper care of an item. Or it was part of an estate they inherited, and thusly liquidated. Or they only half-ass work not done for themselves. It may, or may not be through no fault of their own.
Either they botched/butchered the restore, or the cleaning and/or shine job was slap-dash. This is observations, opinions, and deductive conclusions based on our collective knowledge & experience.
Kind of similar to "The Wall of Shame", but intended (IMO) more to diagnose & troubleshoot specific missteps, if possible. Also, preferably with razors "in hand", rather than the saw-toothed examples seen in online listings.
I hope this to be educational & enlightening for us all! :tu
