Thread: Is this worth the price?

i may need to edit that. i dont mean nicks taken out of the blade. there just seems to be "dark" streaks (tiny) going up the blade. ill see if i can get a good pic

Yes, that should not be there and its presence is enough to tell me the edge is no good (I've seen probably close to 1000 razors by now, and honed most of them, so I am not just making stuff up). However it seems that you are trying to find an excuse to buy it. As I said, if that's the case, just do it. It's far better to learn a lesson (and if you stick with straight razor shaving you will know what I mean in several months or a year) than having regrets thinking that you've 'missed on a deal'.

oh im not looking for an excuse, i can get these anytime from work. just thinking i may have misdiagnosed. i think ive already found better anyway, waiting to hear back from someone.

That's a lot of money for a Dovo with plastic scales-used.

I thought we don't do valuations here on SRP?

But I would vote for either the whipped dog or razor from SRD... I don't know what that razor you posted is worth, but "I" would not pay 180 for it

Good luck!!!

Google " Dovo Best Quality " & you'll see they sell for as little as $80. Not a valuation just a fact.

at this point im kinda turned off on straights, just because its looking like close to $300 to get started. ive found razors to be between $60-100 (both used and new), strops to be another 100 and the brush, soaps & all the other stuff around another 100. gah

talk about forgettign the srp brotherhood. 3 yrs and no post and now you want our help. lol id persionally go wit larrys deal hes a good guy and will hook you up right.
