Thread: First post, Need Help!

I didn't figure I got a bargain, but it's a learning experience eh? Another question is related to the size of this SE. Do they measure the SE from the edge to the top of the spine? If so, mine doesn't reallly fit in any eigth or sixteenth category. I won't be able to post pics for I don't have a working camera, maybe later - however it really isn't a life or death situation. Around what time period would a razor like this be made?

Thanks for all the help, you guys are a welcome bunch!

I'd love to see pics. It sounds like the razor I'm hunting ,minus the chip.

If thats the case I belive they have another one there in slightly better condition. I'll check today for you.

I went and checked again this time more thoroughly. I found about 5-6 different SE's and maybe 8 or so DE's. I purchased a W M Morley clover brand for 15 $. I also bought a schick Krona and Gillette "new" for 3 dollars each. The Morley has a notch on the end, what is that used for?

Also, they didn't have another Diamond edge shapleigh, I will post pics of these two razors this weekend.

Sounds like some good prices on some good finds. You need a camera. I'm looking for a good deal. Shoot, I just threw out a camera I couldve given you.

The notch on the end is a barber's notch. It is there to make you ask questions.

I really appreciate the time you took to find out. I have a mint Shapleigh Diamond Hone with case and paperwork. I'm trying to find a Shapleigh Diamond Edge round point to make a 'set'. Thanks again.

The notch on the end is called a "Barber's notch. There's different theories on why it's there from Aesthetics to being able to open it with your thumb. Not to blow you off, but read our WIKI, it has wealth of information on Razor ID, repair, shaving, etc...Read it well, and if your interested, you might want to check out the Classifieds here and get yourself a good razor. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good one.

I've been reading the wiki, but I wanted some real input on that barbers notch! Better to be extra sure then go shaving the inside of my nose!
