    Default Wapi NOS

    Are these worth buying for $70 US Just to have a couple?

    I am not quite sure how to answer. They are really nice shavers. The blades are excellent. The scales throw thr razor way off balance. They are far too heavy. I think there are a lot of people who picked up a couple. At one point there were a lot of them around, and very large lots could be had for much less. They do hold and keep a very nice edge. I’ve got a few, so I guess I thought it was worth having a few around.

    That's 140.00 for 2 WAPI's. I know fellas who still have a drawer-full.
    I could recommend buying one much better and more hollow razor for 140.

    Ok I think I got it. $70.00 might be too much and the scales should be changed for balance.
    Thanks

    You do know they were made for surgical prep? Aside from bad balance they are stiff with little personality for our pursuit.

    I agree. Not a fan. You can do better with 70$

    I agree...

    They were made for the operating room and to withstand multiple sterilizations.

    If you had ever held one, you'd realize that they are real boat anchors.

    And yes, you can do way better with that amount of money.

    You owe it to yourself to get something made to shave the face.

    There's some nice ones here for a lot less: https://www.ebay.pl/sch/i.html?_from...enica&_sacat=0
    Some vendors ship world-wide.

    I enjoyed mine. I don't care for balance.
