Thread: Honing Services

Fellow Staright Razor Place users,

When I bought a NOS razor that is half hollow, it was mentioned that it comes shave ready. When I received it by mail, the edge and spine was worn unevenly. The edge even has a dead spot in it which means there is no edge at all (very strange). The man himself assures me that the 20 year old blade is warped and that is the reason for uneven wear.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Here are some pictures to prove it.

first of there shouldnt be any wear at all on a NOS razor
I would not accsept that one as NOS or even well honed

if you can return it i think i would

It's certainly rather abnormal.
May be somebody thought NOS is part of the Wapienica name.
Didn't you see photographs first?

That's a tough experience.. that's just horrible, and I've made a few razors horrible. Try to return it.

new old stock thats what i thought it stood for. looks very old and worn

If you have a problem with a vendor, you should contact them directly. SRP is not a place to air your grievances.
