    Default How much do you typically pay for a razor?

    Hey,

    I am currently using a Dovo, which I bought for about 65GBP, and then had it honed for another 5GBP (I was surprised at how cheap it was too, but it shaves well). I purchased both of these at a shop in Hong Kong.

    Now that I'm in the UK, where straight razors are more popular, I imagined that things would be cheaper. However, looking online, most straight razors from any reputable seller (not ebay/ amazon) is typically 100gbp+, or at least 70-80. And then on top of that, it's an additional 20GBP just to get it honed. This just seems far too expensive.

    So how much should I be expecting to pay for a razor and (if necessary) honing?
    If what I saw was correct, then is there any trustworthy source where I would be able to purchase second-hand razors at a reasonable price?

    Thanks.

    I don't know if there is an exact or good answer for "how much you should pay for a razor".

    but,,,

    A trustworthy source, is our "Classified Section" above.

    Wow, thanks. That's actually a pretty good place. The razors are reasonably priced and as they're sold by members here, I'm assuming they won't be gold-dollar type razors.

    The razors move fast here, you need to check it daily.

    Having had a very bad case of RAD for a long time all I can contribute is that prices seem to be all over the board. Look and watch and if you find a reasonable priced item and the seller has a good reputation then buy. I'm not saying that I haven't been stung, just that I've bought a lot. Good luck. There are several places in the UK to get honing done, there are guys in the member services potion of the classifieds.
