    Default Has anyone ever purchased one?

    So I am trying to buy one of the Craig Bar razors from eBay. Has anyone seen one yet?
    It's a beautiful day somewhere I hope!

    I believe the answer to both questions is "Yes".
    Without checking Ebay listings I thought I saw one of his blades today.
    The feedback from what I recall is positive.
    Good hunting

    I think there are people in both camps. He has some followers and some non supporters. I am neither but did see some threads. I would do a search if I were you.

    3 now Ed. In a completely irrational comment, but reflecting my deteriorating mind rather than the CB blade, I'd feel funny about buying a naked straight razor blade out of a guy's hand.

    Ugh, now I'm seeing a naked guy in an overcoat with a 'lot' of straight razors sewn into the lining, opening it to see if you want to buy a razor.....

    The ones I have seen have been too thin, meaning way thinner than the normal 1/4 thickness vs width ratio. this means that they (the ones I've seen) are more like razor shaped knives, than actual razors. The edge will be too fragile, and it will be difficult to hone without using a dozen or so layers of tape to offset the honing angle.
