Hello wonderful people! Just dropping in to ask about this here company and their razor! Has anyone heard of it?! Is the razor worth my time?! Why so many exclamation marks?!?! Here's a link to that there eBay page with the razor we spoke about only seconds ago....
Vintage German Straight Razor Restored and Shave Ready Fancy Scales Handle | eBay
I'd really appreciate some info on it before the auction ends!
Thanks in Advance,
Tim
The hairline is unfortunate, but that looks like it would shave well after being honed properly. I like the bolsters.
2 hrs left, hopefully I answered in time.
EDIT: the seller states that the pictures were taken before honing. Now you have no idea what the hone wear will be like or if they muffed it up. Makes me nervous with that statement and wouldn't buy it.
Thanks! I ended up deciding not to get it after all.. As much as I liked the scales and bolsters, I couldn't find any info on it so I decided to let it pass. Thanks for the welcome on my other thread too! :D
For any future readers, I have handled a few SunRays, and they are fine blades. Hone up easy, straight spines, and good shavers. The scales are pretty, but they are celluloid, so you do need to keep an eye on them.
