    A little off topic but, the older the violin, the sweeter the music. or was it, the older the bull, the stiffer the horn.
    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

    I had the same problem with an epay purchase. Blade was advertised as a 7/8 and was really a 6/8. Price was OK and razor was OK, but sent it right back. I'd rather use the funds and buy what I want - IMHO

    Sending ebay razors back is pretty routine for me. I make sure they accept returns and it's not going to cost me too much. It costs more than $5 to drive to the antique store, so I don't mind spending that to look at a possibly nice razor.

    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

    The problem with the area where I live is that most antique does only have rusty Pakistan razors.

    Here is another option....

    Write the seller, explain your reasons for considering the return, send him a link to an auction with a similar razor with the size properly advertized, and ask him if he would be willing to rebate some or all of the difference.
    Being polite and honest can take you a very long way with an honest seller.

    To him 7/8 is "about an inch." Probably hasn't a clue that people still shave with these when they can get Gillette cartridge razors in the five and dime. So for me it would depend on if I liked the razor.

    (For younger folks, the five and dime ..... five and ten cents store ...... used to be a place where you went to buy things. Now they call them "dollar stores." Soon they'll call them 'ten dollar stores' to be more accurate. )
