Thread: Dashing in to say hello

Hi

I've been using a DE for the last year and a bit and it looks like the time has come to shift up to the world of straights. I bought a Wapi from Soopercat, I have a B&B Le Grelot on the way (via Tony Miller) and I purchased a Dorko Straight in Sydney last week. A few cents under $95.

Excuse my lousy photography. The words on the blade are: "Dorko - Avon" With the word "Registered" underneath. The reverse of the shank has "110" on it. The scales have more of an orange color than appears in the photo.

As far as I can tell, the razor hasn't been used. It seems in prime condition except that one of the scales seems to curve in a small amount. I doubt the blade is shave-ready. The bloke I purchased it from said it belonged to his grandfather - who apparently had never used it. I received a call from him over the weekend telling me that his grandmother has "suddenly" found another one - and would I like to buy it at the same price? Hmmm...

Look forward to your thoughts on the razor. I hope I didn't overpay by more than $90.

Cheers


Jeremy
