Thread: intresting razor- worth it?

I've been looking for cheap double arrows to play with my dremel.
What about this:
Ancien Rasoir Classique Coupe-Choux Straight pr Barbier en vente sur eBay.fr (fin le 09-sept.-09 18:21:39 Paris)

Any good?

I can't read the ad because of the language, but the layout makes me suspicious...

If all you want to do is hack at it with a dremel, then fine, buy it. If you want to create a work of art shaving tool, then maybe not.

Basically the AD says "Ancient classic straight razor for barber use"

it's a new made razor that will last you for years to come and comes new in it's original packaging, it's made out of high quality metal and is the ideal razor for barbers.

We all know it will work perfect as a letter opener and it's probably Pakistani made.

I reads that it is a classic razor made of "high quality steel" which could mean anything.

It is advertised on ebay.fr, vendor's address (bottom of the page) is in UK, listing says razor will be shipped from Shanghai.
If you are lucky you get a Double Arrow razor which gives good shaves, in case you are unlucky you will end up with an interesting butter knife.

If you want a cheap Chinese razor on ebay.fr this Gold Dollar might be an option:

I was thinking it may be a gold dollar- model 208, without the lettering. http://www.gdl.cn/en/openwin.php?id=179&language=
That's why I put the link.
Could it be? Looks a lot like it...

It is a Double Arrow model 66

Made in China and a good razor for the price
