Thread: Insight on this razor

Sorry if this is a no-no, but I have a few questions about this razor. Red Point Straight Razor

I did a bunch of googling and research and it looks like $50 is a bit much.

Also, what is on the blade doesn't appear to match the box. I couldn't find any Krusius Brothers/Red Point/Utica combos.

At any rate, any insight on good deal/bad deal would be appreciated. Thanks!

We don't do appraisals on SRP but ..... this isn't exactly an appraisal .... so I'll say that the razor is not a 'red point', IMHO it ain't worth fifty bucks and the seller seems confused as to whether it is a Krusis Bros or a Utica. Check out SRP classifieds and you'll usually see some bargain razors in there that are serviceable.

It is not a Red Point razor, the box is Red point. The seller is confused about a number of things, value included.

Thanks for confirming my initial thoughts guys. I might offer him $15 and use it as a practice razor for honing.

Perhaps you'll just upset him. some people have an inflated sense a self worth, as my Mom would say....

I know you didn't ask for my advise, but... why fight with a craigslister when you can buy a decent shave ready blade for half that money at whippeddog.com?

Although no longer full of the $30 or so razors, the classifieds here have a steady rotation of inexpensive, good quality razors for very reasonalbe prices and you know you're dealing with a friendly dude that shares and undestands your enthusiasm. These often have the advantage of having been cleaned properly, and if not shave ready they at least have a good bevel already set.
