    Default Why You Should Read The Description Carefully

    This Ern here is characterized as a"rare high collectible" by the seller. In the description he says,"This razor had an unfortunately accident with a tiny crack on the edge of the blade that is not visible in the pictures but it doesn't effect it's shave ability." It is unlikely, with a starting bid of $59.50, that anyone would be bidding on it, but it is a great example of why reading the description with care as well as looking at the photos carefully saves a buyer and a seller problems. It is Item number:110536123594 if the link doesn't work.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Au contraire, he said,""This razor had an unfortunately accident with a tiny crack on the edge of the blade that is not visible in the pictures but it doesn't effect it's shave ability."

    He also lists it as "shave ready." This guy is either a liar or is quite ignorant.
