    Default exchange rate

    Hey guys, I'm trying to buy a Thiers-Issard razor (6/8 festonne Spartacus Ebony) and this exchange rate is killig me. Just with the exchange rate it should be 238.87 dollars, but on top of that paying with paypal shoots it to 311 dollars and change. Is there a cheaper way to get this razar?

    Thanks,

    If you figure it out let me know. I'm interested in the 7/8 Spartacus in Rams Horn.

    I've scoured the web trying to find it stateside.

    Oh, I was looking at Euros, guess I confused a French razor with a English retailer. Still is there a vendor I can get that razor for less?

    $305+ change for 195£. Today. With one world banking just around the corner, they'll be the same soon.(:-(
    It's a nice looking razor but I too have held off because of the price.

    I just got my first TI Spartacus (vintage 6/8) for US$93 - the most I've ever paid for a razor!!
    All I have to do now is restore it and try to keep the goldwash intact......hmmmm
    The good thing is that it is fairly clean and it pops arm hair so honing won't be too much of an issue
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...
