    Post Wapienica - Too Cheap?

    I found this Wapienica on ebay and I'd like to order one and get it honed by someone here. Does anyone know of anything wrong with these? Anyone in the Northwest region care available to make one shave-ready for me? I'll pay of course.

    I saw that another member was selling them shave ready also, but at a higher price. Should I just go through them?

    Thanks everyone, this site has bee great!

    Some people like the Wapis a lot. I think that if are not put off by the extra weight of the metal scales, they should be a perfect starting razor: not too big or small, medium grind, they get a nice edge, etc... stamps222 have sold razors to many members here.

    Glen, gssixgun (I never know if I am spelling this right) is in the Northwest area. You may want to take a look at the classified under member services and make your own decision. but I figure that I would mantion his name.

    Al raz.

    By the time you add in shipping Kenrup's Wapi deal is hard to beat, and he is one of the most experienced ones out there when it comes to honing them...

    I got my Wapi from Ken at Ruprazor.com and he is awesome. Very nice, will rehone for a mere 5$ within the first three months if you need it (nick the blade, strop bad, etc). I would recommend him anytime.
