Larry has some great deals, and is a great guy to deal w/, he will make sure you are happy if you email him and tell him what you are looking for. Stay away from the gold dollars, they are cheap steel w/ poor quality control standards and most have had to grind the shoulders down just to make it shave (note I didn't say shave well). Larry's cosmetic flaws usually are: patina on the blade, tang, or spine (some actually like the antique look it gives), scales may be scratched, scuffed, or faded, the razor may not closed perfectly centered in the scales. He doesn't restore the razors; he cleans, disinfects them, removes any active rust or gunk, hones and strops them, and sells them. You are basically getting something you would get on ebay to restore that's already shave ready, with no work on your part that's why his deals are so low priced.
