I fell victim to a cheapo off ebay. while it.does shave it pulls and doesn't get very close at all. Also purxhased 2 others from eBay and they on Do Not Buy List. One that actually "shaves" is a no name but came with strop from Beauty & Barber I think. Back to point, I don't want to keep repeating same mistake and plan to eventually purchase a Dovo Best Quality 5/8 half hollow but want to get the straight razor shave on lock down first. Was refferred to WhippedDog.com by a friend (collector) & was wondering if their razors are worth the 28-48 plus shipping they will set me back? They are sight unseen supposed "vintage names you can trust" razors that are truly shave ready and quality pieces. Plan is to Ultimately have 7 I use, any help here guys? I don't make lots of cash so can't just hop for $300+ piece, especially buying disposable heads/razors in mean time. Budget is about $50-$60 MAX to spend on one right now which makes whipped dog's razors VERY INTRIGUING!!! Any experiences or opinions GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'm located Near Rockwall/Garland TX if that helps any.
