Thread: I can NOT believe this.....

It's certainly simply misleading, bordering on false representation--and, it's plain wrong. In addition, the price isn't even "cmpr" to a starter Dovo; the "Finest in Gentleman's Wet Shaving" has a brand new Dovo for over twenty dollars less!

*ponders* If nobody is misled, is it misleading?

There's no denying you can get those blades to shave well, but selling them for that price is criminal. For $105, I could buy a fourteen of those, plus all new scale material, mod them and make myself a great two week set.

True Honing? Gimme a break!

Maybe the price is because of the "semi-custom cocobolo scales," that and apparently it has been Truly Honed(TM)-whatever that means.

I just called King's X on a seller.

He claimed he was selling a W&B Bow. I asked him where the Bow was and where the Wade & Butcher was. The Razor said little more than Sheffield.

His answer.....on the box.

I really don't have that much of a problem with this. Is the seller taking advantage of people? Of course he is but he's doing it within the rules of the system. We live in a time where any information you could possibly need to make an informed purchase is out there and can be found within a matter of seconds. I won't go so far as to call the impulsive buyers idiots, but just 10 seconds of research would tell you that there are much better ways to spend your money getting into straight shaving. Just my opinion.

There's even worse. Every day I see bids going on Kriegar or Pakistani razors on flea-bay.

Although I don't agree with the price, I agree with Max. I was one of the foolish ones when I started a few years ago and purchased a Kreigar, or something on part with that. I use it to open boxes, but it will never get near my face. I would rather have paid too much for a useable razor than what I did on the piece of junk I ended up getting. Fortunately for me, I read the information on here just before trying to use it. I believe that was just before I joined here.

But guys it does have free shipping lol!

"The listing includes a brand name other than the brand name used by the company that manufactured or produced the item for sale."

I just reported it as well. That would've pissed me off 6 months ago had I not done the research I did.
