Thread: Anyone dealt with straightrazors.com?

And then you can add Grimm Blades into the whole equation.

I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of an H.Boker & Co. Red Injun A-101 Made in the U.S.A.? There is no tree stamped on the tang. I bought it for about $25.00 including shipping and resold it for about $100 but it is being returned because the buyer said they never heard of a Boker without the tree stamp and I never heard of a Boker made in the USA. What's that about. I wish I could find a resource to help me solve this riddle wrapped in an enigma.

Yes there were Vintage Bokers made in the US I have one... I don't remember a #101 though, I thought they only made the T 95 's

Glen, seems that brother Grim is located in your neck of the woods, or should I say enchanted forest.

I was looking at this site because the made in US blades... Somebody buy one and make a review! Lol

It is not going to be me - I've observed the false marketing for years, every time something gets big attention it's the same story "we're not perfect, we are doing our best to fix stuff", that one customer is taken care of, yet the same misleading but highly profitable practices continue with the tens of thousands of other customers.

Given their history I expect that you will soon see plenty of reviews virtually all of them very positive (one clue as to why is in their facebook 'likes'). The reviews that matter to me, though, are from people with experience and without conflict of interest who I trust - I'm going to wait for those.

Thought I would post here instead of starting a new thread. I got a straight razor set from straightrazor.com for Christmas from my parents. Here's the beginning of what happened: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...mas-flaws.html

I sent the razor back, and tracking showed it arrived. A few days later, I emailed asking for confirmation of the arrival. A week after that, I emailed again asking if the razor had arrived and when I could get a refund. They emailed back and said they sent out a replacement. I had already heard the site might be shady, so I was a little disappointed. I decided to give it a chance. After waiting over a MONTH, I finally emailed again asking what was going on. They said they sent an email, but they were having issues and it may not have sent...riiiight, doesn't sound suspicious at all. Later that day, I got an email saying I could "upgrade" to one of their Grim Blades, or get a refund. REFUND PLEASE! The only upside to all this is that they gave a full refund, I got to keep the rest of the kit (soap/case/strop/brush).

Long story short, I would avoid these sites like the plague. They definitely do not seem legitimate. I suppose there's a small chance I had a bad experience....but I doubt I'm the only one.
