    Cheers mate!

    Looks like it could be useful!

    Always nice to hear from fans of the TT! The GP practices start this week too so we should be in for some more good road racing over the next 2 weeks!

    It was a bargain and they're pitched as new, but do you think it's a good idea to get them checked over by an expert before committing them to my face?

    Cheers!
    What brands are they?

    I can understand the budget thing, I have found that you can get a good quality basic Dovo razor for under $100 and will come shave ready from the right web sight like straight razor designs or vintage blades. By getting a basic quality razor you will enjoy learning the wonderful art of shaving with a straight without wondering it its a good razor or if its sharp enough. And believe me learning to shave with a dull razor is no fun. Keep coming back to the guys on this site, they will help alot.

Never assume your blades are shave ready,especially off of E-bay unless the rep of the seller can be verified. It's just good ol common sense eh . Otherwise good luck,it only gets better and better .
    Agreed. I've gotten some very good shave-ready razors from reputable sellers there then i have gotten some very nice razors for "collects" but they weren't shave-ready as they weren't advertised as such.
