I don't know the seller nor know if he is a member here but I have heard good things about him several times. That is a nice looking razor you link to. If I were in the market for another straight I would certainly consider that one.Quote:

Well, RazorTalkin, if you're reading this, I have to say I'm impressed with what you sell. Unfortunately, my wife would seriously frown upon my spending money on another razor right now, but I will definitely keep an eye on your future auctions.
I don't know him but I've seen majority of his auctions being straight related items. In general they're in good to excellent condition. He ships fast too last I recall.Quote:

That's Quinton. I've never been lucky enough to win one of his, but have had a few email exchanges with him. He comes across as a real gentleman & a truly nice fella!
He's been honing & using straight's for 25 years or something like that & know's what he's talking about. Unfortunately for us, plenty of people have cottoned on to this, & his restorations have been making better & better prices recently!
He's pretty good responding, so any questions, fire them over to him.
Thanks guys, for all the wonderful compliments! Wish I had more time to log in and chat with you fine gentlemen, however it takes almost all of my spare time to keep a decent inventory. I am always glad to answer questions though, and helping newbies has been quite satisfying as well. Thanks for all the support guys, and God Bless, Quinton
Quinton and his wife are among the top two or three sellers of restored razors on eBay, period. He is a true gentleman and great to deal with too. I have bought several excellent blades from him, and each one has shaved like a dream, so I recommend him highly!
I agree completely. I purchased a nice 7/8 Boker from them and it is one of my favorite blades. Quinton certainly knows how to put a fine edge on a razor.Quote:

Oh well, I guess there's a lot more people watching Quinton's auctions besides me!!
I got my W&B dream razor from Quinton...yes, his restored razors fetch a premium e-bay price, but that's because he's auctioning premium razors! One heck of nice guy to boot!!!
