I have always bought at antique shops, Flea markets & the like & always was able to handle the razor before I bought it. In the last 2 years I have bought over 50 razors. Not all pristine but with research, beforehand I knew what I was buying.
The great thing about places like SRP is what you can learn about all aspects of Razors & shaving . We have info that will help you learn to build your own razors if you want to making your own strop & how to use it. Also you can buy razors from members here at a good price & be pretty sure you get what you were told you were buying. There are bad apples in every tree but they get weeded out pretty quick here. Best of luck to you!
