Thread: Razor from ebay

If it were me I would keep the razor. Maybe the seller might be willing to cut a deal on another item to compensate? As far as feedback I would even leave a positive as I realize that most sellers don't really know much about razors and so I'm more concerned that the item ships quickly and without glitches. As far as JMS's post about spine wear I can't really see it myself and it's quite possible that the toe end was made slightly rounded. I believe my Fila has the same type of rounding.

I'll see about digging mine out this evening and and I'll have a look at it but I'm pretty near certain that round toe is the way it's designed.

As far as I can tell, the blade has not been touched.
If I were to keep the razor, how could I go about putting custom scales on it, and how expensive would it be?

This guy sells fillys regularly and should not be considered ignorant. And if you buy mint/NOS, that is exactly what you should get. Was the box/packaging damaged , if not shame on him!

Nothing in the packaging was damaged, the razor box showed no sign of crushing. I just opened everything and found the crack. The area with the crack was also avoided in the pictures he displayed on ebay.

Update:
He offered to send me another one in exchange for the one I recieved. Either the same model (#12) or the #13.
Any recommendations?
Thanks again everyone who has offered me advice!
V/R,
Scott

Mine's a #12 and the rounded toe is the way it's designed. I have yet to hone and shave with it but Filarmonicas are highly regarded around here. As to the choice between the #12 or #13 I would assume there's a difference in size so you'll want to decide if the one you now have is the size you want. The #12 is about 9/16-5/8 but has a fairly heavy spine so should be a good choice as an all around shaver. I don't know the size or grind of the #13 so I can't comment but I'm sure somebody else here has one and can provide you with info on it.
