The Razors not to buy.

Hi all,

I was browsing around the site recently and saw an alphabetical list of razors to avoid. I believe it also had some other info to consider before going out to buy a straight razor. For the life of me I can't find this list again. Can anyone direct me?

Thanks for any help, BTW this is a great site!!!

Thanks, I was looking for this list too.
By the way, I noticed "Best Quality" is at the top of that list. That doesn't refer to the Dovo "Best Quality", does it?

No it doesn't. Anything Dovo is fine IME.

You seem to have missed the footnote:

Not to be confused with Dovo brand razors bearing the legend, Best Quality.

With few exceptions you will be safe when buying a used razor from SRP classified. If in doubt ask one of the senior members or mentors.

Perhaps Sweeney Todd should be added to the list?

Probably not a bad idea, and the new Marbles ones also

Venus[3] is on the list already. And remember, it's a Wiki. Just add your amendments and enhancements.

Yes, they are pretty, but they don't hold edges.. I can always add the notation do not buy unless you want pretty paperweights :rolleyes:

It's really as simply as:
1. Log in: Log in / create account - Straight Razor Place Wiki
2. Click the edit link on the "razors to avoid" page: View source - Straight Razor Place Wiki
3. Add your text. Preview. Save.
If you intend to add more than this one razor (and you should), you might want to use the new editor, as described in http://straightrazorpalace.com/srp-w...en-easier.html.

Thanks in advance,
Robin
