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

i'll begin by saying i KNOW the amount of work that goes into re-scaling a razor and making scales from a plank or wood...BUT SERIOUSLY $105 for a $5 razor that looks like the shoulder is still gonna make it un-honable.......HERE.....i wish there was a way to warn ppl what they were really getting!

Dont forget the price of TRUE honing lol.

People will pay money for crap. Even if its gold plated. There are tons of idiots out there in this world who would snap at the chance of getting a "custom" razor for cheap. Sad part is they'll buy it and join here and ask if what they have is a good deal. Ive heard great things about Gold Dollars as long as you put a fresh hone to them since the factory edge is terrible.

Worry not what the idiots do, just let them be idiots.

That is kind of shady. No where does it mention "Gold Dollar" in the ad, but lists Dovo as a term in the short description?

My momma used to say, shady is as shady does.

its not very nice to say something like that. Most people get the idea of straight shaving from a movie, father, friend ect. And when they look into getting one sometimes they may not do enough research. I think calling them idiots is a huge overstatement. perhaps they just need to be reminded to do some more research? anyways it was just my thoughts...I think it's sad that these people get ripped off when they want to enter the world of such a respected art.

He has Dovo in the listing, that's ridiculous. It's bordering on false advertisement, so its been reported to ebay.

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

ebay wont do a thing about it...if you read carefully, it says right before dovo, cmpr. which stands for comparable...so really its not false advertising at all..he's just saying its comparable to dovo, not that it is a dovo. Of course we all know that it would come no where close to a dovo.

I can,,

No surprise at all in this corner,

The pictures are a portion of the description, and I can clearly make out the "Gold Dollar" and "China" from them. Putting Dovo in the description seems to be a tricksy little artifice to make the ad show up in a search for "dovo."

I don't know that I'd call it false advertising, tricksy maybe, but not false.

He has the nerve to talk about unscrupulous sellers.
