Thread: Just want an opinion

I don't even think that is fair to say... I just find it to be careless bidding... He is in the same time zone as me and that offer came quite late at night as I recall. I feel like he maybe wasn't firing on all cylinders at that hour and it ended up costing me $7 plus 3 more for a label... I buy a lot from europe and speak fractured french and rusty spanish yet I even make sure to ask euro sellers who speak poor english a detailed question if I have a concern. Did you buy something fun? My razor sales pretty much bankroll my out of control hone habit.

Wow, just let me say it again, wow! Better to take the high road. Well played sir.

Aah. I didn't have the time to fix the geometry. That's a really nice one apart from that. It had really clean steel. I'm a wedge guy and I am slowly working through my personal queue which mostly involves removal of corrosion and rebuilding horn up with dust and resin. At the rate I am getting my stuff sorted it would have been a very long time to sort that so better someone else enjoys it.

I feel you covered your rear with your description.

But then again you are the seller and not going to make it sound bad...

Yes its super clean, i messed with it i wanted to see if i could do any good but i ceased my operations and i am going to wait until i meet with mainaman so as to not trash this razor. I seem to get good edges on my hollows but all i get are tugs with the wedge. Takes arm hair like crazy but no bueno on the beard. Love it though. Sorry not trying to hijack your thread.

You need to nail the bevel on a wedge and have a nice bevel angle as well. A lot of guys put way too much tape and create an obtuse bevel which doesn't shave so hot. Taking measurements with wedges really helps you understand what you're up against as far as what needs to remain and what needs grinding. You really want 17 or 18 degrees. 19 is ok. 20 is pushing it.

Yeah, but my description is pretty no frills and just reflects back to the pics and condition field. I don't have the patience to do the snake oil thing like one infamous ebay seller loves to do...

Blade closes toward back scale and needs to be guided in but centers well when closed.

Honestly, tell me this is not deceiving to an unknowing person looking for a gift.

P.S. I think you win your argument but I don't think you are right.
