Thread: Is it safe to buy a straight razor that is restored from the classifieds?

Several of us here have met each other and had work done for us by other members, who post on the classifieds. We have direct personal experience. I applaud your skepticism though.
I will also point out that eBay sellers take their reputation pretty damn seriously too.
I bought a razor recently, after delivery a $1 credit showed up in my Paypal because the actual shipping charges were less than the estimated charges. $1!

That says a lot! I asked the same thing a few days ago, and bought a dovo off the exchange. I have not received it yet, but I have emailed back and forth about 5 times with the buyer Asking questions. Everyone here is super helpful and I can't wait till tomorrow when I get my new razor!

I have made numerous classified straight razor purchases over the years and never been disappointed. SRP sellers have transaction ratings from the buyers similar to ebay.

Safer to buy where you find a plethora of users who recommend it versus some guy also selling collectable dolls ......... Not that there's anything wrong with that .......

I've bought 2 from the classifieds, with no issue, and have sold one with no issue. Had the buyer had a problem I would have tried to correct it, or refund their money upon the items return.

All 3 of my razors have come from srp members, but not via the classifieds, if you are unsure you can see how new a member is, and as has been said they also have a rating, which has been given to them by people who know about what they are buying.
