    Larry answered all my questions pretty quickly and honestly. They actually are good deals if you think about it. These are razors that have been sanitized and honed and sold. He doesn't do full resotres; otherwise the price would be double or more. He doesn't use expensive fancy leathers with stainless handles, and attatchments and other stuff on his strops; otherwise they would cost as much as everywhere else. Think of him like a wetshaving wholeseller of sorts. So, in all acutality by not putting all the work, time, and materials into his stuff it saves him money; which saves you money. Also, I have heard a puts a wicked edge on a blade.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
