I won this razor and it arrived earlier this week: Joseph Rodgers Straight Razor Hallmarked Sheffield on eBay, also, Barber Shop Shaving, Vanity Perfume Grooming, Collectables (end time 01-Jun-08 19:08:24 BST)
Razor seems unused but has lot of grime on blade, little or no rust around shoulder but nowhere near the cutting edge and only superficial. 6/8 blade is full wedge on one side and slightly ground on the other side (bit like Japanese razors). Scales are in mint condition.
Here's my problem: I love razor boxes. In the picture the box looks new. The box I got is different from picutered, and in bad condition, cap belongs to a different box.
Seller agreed to take the razor back and give me a refund.
What would you do: keep the razor and ask for a partial refund or send it back? I don't use razors that have no box. I keep my razors in the bathroom and found that boxes offer excellent protection against rust in slightly humid condtions.
