Thread: Is Brand New....inclusive of scratches?????

I just recently bought a new razor(manufacturer name withheld) and upon opening it noticed there were lots of scratches on the back side opposite of where the etching was. Along the top near the spine and down lower closer to the blade. You can see them in the shadow of the picture attached. Along with what looks like sanding marks on the tang where it meets the blade.

I have only bought 1 razor prior brand new and found these scratches a bit odd.

Is this acceptable as new quality? I dont like scratches on new toys.

Thanks for any input.
