Do YOU even know what your selling?
hello searching ebay for razors, and have found seller descriptions result in a lot of confusion unless its me? EXAMPLE:Antique Joseph Rodgers & Sons Sheffield Wedge Razor Extra Hollow Ground
Am i missing something, isn't a wedge and Extra hollow ground two completely different grinds,this is not the first contradiction I've seen on a description or title of a razor, can anyone un-confuse me?

It's kind of like the razors being described as Wade&ButcherDublDuckFilarmonica's. Anything to mislead a bidder.

I took a look at it. It is, as the blade states, and extra hollow. Looking at the seller's other items for sale I'd bet he is an antique/flea market seller. He probably knows very little about the fine distinctions of straight razors and/or he figures someone searching using the term 'wedge' will end up looking at his item and maybe buying it.

Since we are on the subject, I have one to offer....
W.H.Morley&sons,clover leaf brand,made in Germany,antique straight edge rasor | eBay
I'm tempted to send him a note and ask why it would be selling for 10X the going rate for a WH Morley...
But that would be time I would never get back....

I'd be willing to bet that the sellers that don't have a clue are not members here anyway.

At the same time these are the people that give us the very good deals from time to time just because they don't know what they are selling.
