    DAMAST MESSER RASIERMESSER KLINGE HIRSCH (FO-45) bei eBay.de: Outdoor (endet 03.04.10 19:46:10 MESZ)


    Here is my own Mini-Razor Design:



    and here a ebay-razor from the same seller:




    I´m pretty shure, we will see in the next time some other designs, that will us remember on razors, that we saw at Mastro Livi, R. Williams, J. Chandler, L.R. Harner or all the other creative straigth razor makers...

    Looks like they're may be some new Pakistani additions to the "Razors to avoid list"

    The whole country IS on the "razors to avoid list".

    Probably why the eBay listing doesn't mention country of manufacture.

    It comes with a sheath , so you can keep it handy . Might not shave you very well , but it sure looks badass .

    Lawsuit!

    The problem with these razors is people see them, think they look the part and sink the cash on them. Then they either get a cut, a lousy shave or no shave at all and thats really discouraging for new guys.

    Thats a really beautiful razor you've made there Gabor, I love it!

    shameless... I would say though that they picked a good one to copy, yours looks amazing (don't know how I feel about the birdwing yet though)

    Missing country of manufacture??
    One might raise an issue with Ebay since country
    of manufacture is a requirement by treaty and
    Ebay is party to a violation of US treaty and law.
