Nr 9 isn't such bad. :rofl2:
worse than that! I have been seeing cracked blades, and cell rotted ruins that have actually SOLD for 40-80 dollars. I simply cant grasp WHY
I know a fool and his money are soon parted, but how does a fool get money in the first place?
Nah. They're all good. According to the seller, there's only 4-5 that are cracked, but the rest are good to go.
I'm hoping that this craze ends soon, for our members sake! Although... there are a few ebay sellers that I've spoken with and get some incredible deals on very nice stuff... It's really amazing what a friendly message to the seller can do.
My first thought was: "Canada, eh?"
But the Dovo Bismarck can be bought from Fendrihan.com, for $192 Cdn.
Yes, that store's profit margins were large. Or they bought their stuff from Fendrihan (or someone else) for retail prices, and marked _those_ up.

Yes CANADA EH!!!!!
I mostly watch the DD's and go looking for parts now and again. I can't believe parts are that expensive LOL. Maybe there are people out there that think they will just jump into the straight razor restoration business and get rich ? Throw 150 at parts and make 300 when done. Maybe desperate people out of work looking to make a buck ? Who knows but it does seem rather silly. I went through this with cowboy boots and hats, etc. Movie comes out and prices go out the roof. Never came down that much either.
I have found out today that Knifewear here in Calgary stocks a lot of shaving supplies. They have razors, kamisoris, soaps, creams, strops, scuttles, etc. Lots of good brands too, T&H, Trumpers, Taylors, Iwasaki, Dovo, Kent, Simpsons, etc. They are trying to open a store in Edmonton in the new year. Look for them.
