Many thanks, glad you liked it, it was one of those right timing things, lots of questions like yours and I had been shopping a razor for a friend so I put it all together for that month's Tips

Thanks for the help guys, I was wondering if it's alright to post pics of a razor on here ? and maybe someone can point out if there are any bad faults for me?

Of course you can post pics and than guys will tell you the low down

Yes, but just beware that if for some reason the auction you are watching is flying under the radar, posting it here would alert it to thousands of potential bidders

yeah thats why I saved the photo's and im going to post them separately =]

can anyone tell me from these two pics rougly what quality the blade is in?
