Ebay buys are chancy even if you know what to look for. Chances of getting a cheap, good condition razor are slim and the last 30 sec of bidding usually see the price go up by a third to a half. You will then need to get it honed as well. You can get a decent honed razor in the classified for 50 or a new one for 100. After that price increases for cosmetic value as the shave won't dramatically increase.
