Hey guys, check out my latest purchase,
This one is really hollow! ;)
Oh, and the seller was kind enough to leave me some buffing compound (rouge I believe) on the blade!

Just incase you are thinking "the temper is blown" you are correct!! I have never seen a razor so floppy, its like a piece of paper! :)
lets see the rest of the razor !!
Its funny, the blade wasnt overpolished, it looked to be in ok condition but the scales were so mint.. I have the exact same one in 8/8 in good shape aswell that hasnt been buffed.
I didnt take any more pics and the wife is on the way to the post office with it right now.
I wrote them an email saying some thing like "you are a knife shop, you know that a blade with a blown temper is useless"
And I got back "Ya we polished it with semi chrome, return it for a full refund"
So they buffed it, burned it and then buffed out the burn :)
That takes some kind of balls to knowingly try and sluff something like that off on a customer.

Ill bet he relists it.. Then Ill be forced to let people know about this shady character.
What are we looking at in this pic? I obviously don't see the flaw from what I'm looking at. I can see that its not shave ready that's for sure.Quote:

Huh. I can't tell from the photo. Yikes.
