Thread: Any Opinions??

So i am looking at this razor as a possible first into the ebay world of razors, and was wondering if anything about this blade screams (or even whispers) stay away. price seemed pretty low so was looking for some more experienced opinions.


Thanks,
Tyler

Gee, Tyler, it looks good from here. What sort of razor is it?

It is a DD 9/16 Wonderedge. the seller says to have stumbled upon an esate sale of an old barber, so it looks like he just put up recently a large number of things, and this one looked pretty good to me. I was thinking of looking into finding some old DD's as solid collecting pieces if i can get them at the right price. im extremely new to the straight shaving world so i want to make sure. i could give the link to the ebay page but part of me wants to keep it on the DL in case someone wants to scoop it out from under me. gotta watch for those lurkers haha

Looks like a good blade. Wonderedges bring good money, so expect some competition. Be sure the scales are straight and not yellowed. Good Luck!

You do realise that a quick search on FleaBay will bring it up. All I can say is that a wonderedge was one of my 'holy grail' razors until today when I received mine. I saw this listing and let's put it this way, the import tax to the UK on the expected final price for this razor has ruled it out for me.

Here's mine:
