Thread: Artamis Blade Quality

+1 to the above. If want a nice razor at a decent price, the classifieds is the place to get it.

Thanks for your responses everyone ... it has made my job of finding a razor twice as hard

eBay was a good shout and there are plenty on there but the quality must vary greatly.

Some great prices like this or this but I seriously am concerned about them ... full sets for under £30???

I also saw this, this and this.

I like the look of the last one in wood but again am dubious of the quality. eBay just is not trustworthy to me and the last thing I want to do is put something to my face that some guy made number 298 of 300 in their shed on a Sunday.

Avoid ebay. Seriously, don't use it for your first razor.

For one, 99% chance the razor isn't shave ready, which is very important for a beginner.

Secondly, there may be damage on the edge that you can't see or the seller doesn't disclose. Some seller's don't even know what to look for on the edge.

So honestly, if you want an inexpensive razor, go for the classifieds or whipped dog. Even if it has to be shipped oversees, it will be worth it.

Also, check out invisible edge. They are a great UK based company.
