I would like to thank you guys for proving my original statement correct though... As now we have to research these brands that have come up

so Thank You...

Back to topic, I wouldn't buy that. If anything I would get a $10 vintage or a DA. If you can't find any, you can have one of my junkers.

Isn't Herr Wacker (and some other "old timers") involved with the Revisor restart?

Didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure if the seller posted new stock or not. But there hasn't been DA's on ebay for quite some time now.

Now, maybe they'd be poo in hand....but they don't look too bad...

Am I the only person thinking "Dang, $14 new scales for my beat-up old I-XL!" ?

I'm thinking "you get what you pay for and those scales must be about $7.50. No way I'm putting those on any of my razors. Probably won't even fit anyway...nope, I'm going to call Glen or Mike for new scales."

I pm'd a guy that bought this razor and he said that while it looked pretty it is not sharp.

Here is the actual copy/paste

I bought it for myself, to use for shaving. It isn't nearly sharp enough yet, but it does have a nice feel to it, the blade centers in the scales nicely, and I'm hopeful it will be usable.
