Thread: Qustionable & poor quality razors on Ebay

That's actually not a bad idea. The "Buy-it-now" price would be the cost of a stamp and a few cents more to cover printing. You could call it "How to get started Straight Razor Shaving" and have a brief explanation of str8s, what is needed, some good internet sellers, and a list of what (and Who) to avoid. Actually, you could sell it as a downloadable PDF file for only $0.01, or even free.

Wow Great idea. I only know a couple of good ones. I would love to know the ones to avoid.

That the direction that I am thinking of.
A "Straight Razor Resource Guide" that would have Listings and Links.
I do not know much about PDF documents, what can and cannot be included
such as jpg, gif,avi, web links etc.

I need people to contribute to the list of poor razor websites and brands along with the Ebay sellers.


This will be a work in progress. After I finish here I will go back to Ebay and review the last two days listings and update as necessary.

Thanks guys,

One must be careful naming names when you are discussing who not to buy from and what not to buy.

While the idea is a good one don't get yourself into trouble.

You can put anything in .pdf format, as long it doesn't move.

That's a valid point there.

I think you can get around it by saying "the general opinion among the members of Straightrazorplace is that the following list of brands and sellers should be avoided"

I think this needs a refreshing bump for all the new forum users.

List updated today.

And just where would you be hiding it, Randy?

That loybeloit guy ~ the one you had so much trouble with.....I messaged him thorough eBay about his current auction with a couple of ducks....asked him about the CRACK in one of the blades. I asked for more pics and sent him my email address. It never clicked that this was the guy you were talking about. Anyway, he posted my question on his listing, and IT HAS MY EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE LISTING NOW! I messaged him again asking him to please remove it. Nothing like having [email protected] plastered up for all the world and all the world's spam search engines to see. That was 3 days ago. Swing by here on your way to Chicago, we can split the gas, hotel rooms, and beer ......... ......Jeff
