Okay, so this guy's selling lots of cheap shaving stuff on ebay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...item563d67e207 but there's his feedback page. It's 100%. I've never seen that before. What do you guys think? I can't tell the brands or anything about his products from the pictures, but people who've bought them left positive feedback.
the link does not work.
but there are many many sellers with 100% feedback.
"User ID Invalid" is not a good sign. I've seen sellers with items that are usually too good to be true, who have apparently had their cohorts stuff their feedback folders with positives to get 100% Then when the negatives start coming in, they close up shop and create a new identity. I'm not saying this guy did this but I'd be careful.
sorry, that one any better Leather Strop for Straight Razors 12" Long - eBay (item 370397405703 end time Jun-22-10 17:29:22 PDT)
Well, he's got feedback dating back two years, so I don't think so. he's got the top rated badge and everything.Quote:

exception stuff bought through classifieds, and several very reliable vendors.
No strop made of quality materials will be worth 6 bucks.
If you want to save money try your hand at a vintage strop, but you will need to refresh the leather to be able to use it.
too many users scared to leave an accurate feedback
judging by what i see (Selective brand)
id say any money spent is pure loss
True, true. At the same time I don't want a super nice strop because I'm still a beginner and I'll probably tear it up in a couple weeks (like the one I currently have from srp which is nicked to shit and i already probably need to replace).Quote:

cheaper or dearer you really should keep checking here before shopping
one fool think there worth a lot apparently
Why not save yourself some anguish and buy it from trustworthy and reputable SRP members, right here...one click away in the classifieds. You will get 2 things (guranteed):
1. Good product (matching description/condition) and very good prices
2. Peace of mind
Just my $0.02.
Cuz there aren't any strops in there right nowQuote:

There are "starter strops" that are less expensive if you want to go that route.Quote:

Then, are you in the market for another strop (to get very soon, cheaply) and wanted to try something else, other than SRD? or.....just looking on the bay for a hell of it (which I must admit, I do sometimes too ;))?
From the OP, it almost sounded that you wanted something very quickly...am I wrong?
