    Default ebay

    Just recieved a twins razor in the post that I won on ebay,it was described as good condition with very ornate handles
    The pic were a little fyzzy and only showed one side
    Well the ornate handle was plain black plastic that was cracked right through
    I just glued it back together for the time being when I finish the ERN I will start on some new scales for this one
    That is two in a row that I`ve been done,its not the end of the world but it just re-enforces my somewhat increasing synical outlook
    Any way I had my winge
    Kind regards Peter

    That is why I never bid on anything with a fuzzy pix. I don't trust people too much. Hell I live in NYC so why should I . How is the blade though?

    There you are then. If it turns out to be a nice shaver you can put your favorite scales on her.

    Yea like the one I saw on Eboy a week or so ago with the very rare and valuable blade custom made so you don't mess up your sideburns. It conveniently had a "cutout" in the blade just for this. And the end of the blade was "ground down" so you don't stick yourself.

    I saw the same Friodur. Man, a little research would go a long way for some of these folks.

    Do you have an auction number for that one? That may be a good candidate for my section of the CD update on how to buy razors on eBay.
