Thread: decent buy? or a waste of money

So i found this on the bay a few days ago and decided to take a chance being there are no closeup photos of the razors. so i was wondering.. did i mess up?


eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

We will need better pics to be able to tell.
If all are serviceable you got a bargain, if none are, well..
Chips or cracks in the blades could be deal breakers.
For now, I'll settle for "promising".

Best of luck.

as long as your happy with them it doesnt really matter what you paid..on that note, there are no valuations on SRP

sorry was just looking to see if this might be a ok buy,or if it i might have landed a dud from others who have surfed the bay more than me.

You'll know when the razors arrive. Can't tell much from the pics other than they seem clean.

Well, if you have to ask, it means the answer is 'waste of money'.
You just spent almost $100 and still don't have a razor that can shave. So, you'll have to pay somebody to fix that, or you can spend more money to buy hones, and a lot of time to learn how to properly hone a razor with them.

Of course, if you just wanted them for the looks then you got what you wanted. They seem pretty good on those poor pictures, i.e. worth a gamble.

Considering it's a gamble on Ebay, I think you did fine
I would take the best two and send them out to honed and learn honing on the other four or flip them back on Ebay

thank you for the replies guys. and i do plan on sending a bunch of razors out, namely my wade and butcher, my geneva, two of the ones from this buy and my nameless "barbers ax no1" but i am going to send them to different honemasters from this site and ask that they all use the same method, in the meantime i am cleaning up a few barbers hones that i have to get ready to keep these razors in top shape, while i use a few no name razors i have for practice.
