Well, it came today, and as you can imagine, it wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It was as described I guess, "no rust" but a little "patina", but a big split in the blade and two tiny chips.

Wow! As I'm typing this, the seller just let me know very nicely that he was sorry, and is refunding my money! Nice guy!

Anyhow, I think I'll stick to one of you guys, or someone you can recommend.
Hello Tommy,

It was good speaking with you earlier this morning. If you want to buy a razor from one of the people here then go to the Gallery and look for any persons individual gallery that has some razors for sale or go to the "Gear for Sale Gallery" and check that out. Also look in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum for listings and also check out the classifieds. Over on the original site at Yahoo there are also some listings.

One razor that you may not know about is the SRP Club razor. This is being sold by Classicshaving.com.
It is a limited edition, serial numbered razor that is outstanding in every way. I ordered three of them. One I will shave with and two will be held as an investment. the link is

Just some ideas,
