On one hand we'd like to just take a stance against certain vendors. But we know that if we do that, we'll violate our own rule, and people would just put it down to 'suppressing competition for the owners of SRP'. The owners of this place are vendors as well. And even though they generally stay out of the decisionmaking process, perception is everything and we can't play favorites.
Otoh, sometimes it is so blindingly obvious that something is a scam, that it seems almost ridiculous to cover them under the 'no vendor bashing' rule.
For the moment we just post in every one of these threads to point out just how bad those 'sight unseen' razors are. The funny thing is that for the same price, you could buy one from the classifieds here, and be almost certain that you'd have an excellent shaver in a decent condition.
I always appreciate it when this happens. We have a very generous community, and a lot of stuff gets sent to newbies, or donated to the monthly giveaways.
