    Default Just some minor wear on this Clauss

    Fortunately it's only minor wear and the razor is in good condition. A little buffing on the ole felt and that tiny nick would come right out.

    That chip will come right out. I find that MAAS works best for chips about 1/6 of an inch in diameter.

    From what I've seen, there are quite a few guys here at SRP who would somehow make that thing look NOS.

    I hear it all the time, ebay has really declined. There is so much trash for sale, and sometimes at high prices.

    I think it is appropriate to caution new people to traditional wetshaving to stay away from there until they get more familiar with razors. Personally, I have found the Classifieds section here an oasis in comparison. The people who run SRP do a good job in oversight.

    Haha, working in picas. (1/6 inch)
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
