There are some of these (for lack of a better word) funky DAMASCUS STEEL HAND CUSTOM MADE STRAIGHT RAZORS on ebay..
I have had a quick look on SRP and i couldn't see any mention of anyone buying one so..... Are they any good (can they shave) or are they just for.. ummm.. showing off??

Come on, show yourselves! Who went through with buying one!
Not suitable for shaving. Don't waste your money.
lol I figured as much, so has anyone tried to use one or is this speculation? Lol
I know it looks unusable but surely someone must have purchased one on here... come on, show yourselves! Hehe
Come on, you don't really believe that an SRP member would admit they had bought one of those razors, do you? Too embarrassing!?Quote:

why not everyone take up a collection of ~2-3$ each and then buy it *(they run ~200$) and then take all the financial burden off one person??
You may have the honor of being the first one to try it . At your own expense , of course . I'll be eagerly waiting to read your report .:gl:Quote:

I'm sure there is nothing like waking up in the morning and shaving with something that feels like alligator teeth :D
Haha I may do some spontaneous buying but I'm not that spontaneous lolQuote:

I new someone would have one! do you have the link?
I didn't think it would hold a bevel and due to that spine was it a pain in the A33 to hone?
Thanks for coming out! DLB was wrong! :D
Oh, sorry, I had a cheap damascus but not one of these. It's buried in this thread; start at post 87, or read the whole thing if you are so inclined.

Thanks, i will have a read though!
I did notice that JimmyHAD was going to enquirer about them in that thread!
I actually sent en e-mail to the seller on eBay asking if he can garuntee that this will hold its edge and that it will hone up without any complications... I had no response lol
Its one of those things that i always new it wouldn't work but, if it did and there was proof i properly would have got one for the hell of it! It would have freaked out my friends!
Post #95 - That is one hell of a thick bevel!
Well, he seems to have great feedback and seems to have an iron clad guarantee so what you all waiting for?
That is one EXPENSIVE Wall Hanger!!! But as a useful tool?? As they said, don't waste your Kopec's!!!
Sincerely, tinkersd of SRP
Surely you jest ! Read the neutrals and negatives . They tell me everything I need to know .Quote:
