Thread: Venting a little

They sell on ebay for 75 to 100+ dollars they claim American handmade, Randydance post a webpage and they are china razor discovery for 12.99, and furthermore all look exactly the same!!! must be when China invaded the USA in the 18th century and
uses razor as weapon and left a whole bunch behind, put that story on ebay and it will sell for $1200, Enjoy!!

Looking at them closely for the first time, I believe they ARE real, and they are razors (sort of)

hide scrapers!

Gotta get the horse hair off your strop leather Somehow, right?!?

( Of course, I could just be pulling excrement out of my rectum )

It's kind of disturbing to see so many of these things go for so high. That's more than some actual period stubbies go for.

It makes me mad that these POS fetch such a high price, but any W&B hollow grounds that I sell hardly fetch half that.

Which is still twice what I'd pay Dave. lol.

That has nothing to do with W&B' hollow grounds, or you....I'm just cheap.

When I first started buying ebay razors, I was cheap, too. Then I kept losing spectacular examples or razors that I wanted, and would kick myself for not bidding more. Now, I just get mad and put a snipe the size of my savings account onto something that I really want. My philosphy on Ebay is Go big or go home

it is sad an frusterating that ebay actually allows these sellers to post auctions. fortunatly, its a select few , so they are easy to filter out

All from the same seller too.....

If they aren't Chinese, I'd bet they were made locally, are old, and possibly used in a region specific industry.
