Yes If You Know The Seller,, And He Has A good Rep Or Feedback On His Razors,, But If You Really Want Too Be Safe Go To The B/S/T There Has Been Some Real Nice Ones Showing Up Lately,, Ty
When you go to B-S-T, be sure to look at the post count of the seller and their join date, in the left hand corner of the page. If in doubt, go to their profile and see their latest posts and started threads. Some are not as good as others, lately

There are questions you can ask to get answers to the shave ready status of a razor.
Have you test shaved with this razor?
What is your honing progression?
Are a couple of good ones.
Good tip.Quote:

Johnlok1 is the seller name. I'll try one of his inexpensive ones and see how it goes.
I'd like to get my SR honed but I don't see any ads posted in member services. :( I know whipped dog does it though
Karlj is a member here and sells on eBay. He puts a fine edge on a blade.
Member Services has been blank for a couple of weeks. What gives, I don't know.Quote:

As I recall, you have to pay a vendor fee to list in Member Services, which I believe is $50/year - too much for the amount of honing jobs I'd likely get.

Same reason I don't hone anymore, $50 would be 50% of my best year

I just received a new/ used razor I won off of the bay for $17! I bought it from a business that sells on ebay named Carter Monroe. It came shipped with nice professional boxing and business cards. I'm thrilled to have found out it truly is shave ready by shaving with it. I don't know these guys but hoped to share some useful info with others learning this curve and searching.
The sellers name is helmanjared.
I am very particular about the edge I shave with and Karl has put the edge on every one of my straights. When I buy from the auction site, another member or a retailer, I send the razor to Karl to put an edge on it. No one else touches my razors.Quote:
