Thread: I got given some razors

Ah could be I'm on my mobile!

You can also use a app like Imgur to load your pics to then just link here

HOWEVER

If you delete them from that app it will delete them here too leaving a hole in our data

We would much rather have them loaded through the forum

I'll charge up the PC later and do it properly.
Thank you for your patience 🙏 ☺️

My vidcap app did not pick up the file selection dialog because I had it on window and not full screen but it will look different from yours anyway. I am assuming you are using WinDOHs or Mac and I don't use those. But quite simply here is how you do it.

Click "Reply", or "Reply to Thread".
In the reply box header, find the icon, probably third from the left, and hover your mouse on it. it should say in a little pop-up tool-tip, "Insert Image". Click on it.
A dialog will pop up and you have a choice of "From Computer" or "From URL". Click "From Computer"
Click "Choose File"
Navigate to the pic you want to post, and select it.
Click "Upload File". You will see some xml code appear in your reply window. Now type whatever you want to say in your post that goes with the pic you are posting.
Click "Post Quick Reply".
Alternately click "Go Advanced" and then PREVIEW your post.

The brands and models are not junk. So it depends on the condition of the razors but they are at a guess, suitable for having them honed and used, possibly full restoration on some. The Gotta in particular has a bit of a following.

The first thing I would do is wipe a THIN coating of petroleum jelly on the razors, just the steel, don't get any on the scales. This will help to prevent rust. With that precaution, and storing them in a dry place, they will keep for a very long time and there is no hurry to dispose of them.

Factors in their usability and desireability are chips in the edge, cracks, rust, heavy pitting, scratches, obvious sanding or buffing marks, heat marks, and so on. Like already said, we can't give estimate of value here.

Can't tell your gender from your profile but I will go out on a limb and say if you are female, you might ask your male relatives if any have ever contemplated shaving with a proper razor in the manly fashion or not. If no takers, you could post them one by one on ebay and you should have no problem disposing of them. How much you will get is anybody's guess. Me speculating would be perilously close to an appraisal, which is against the rules here. Make sure your pics are very clear. Whatever you do, do NOT list them as "shave ready", because they are most likely not. You don't want any angry returns or bad feedback on your ebay account. Unfortunately you can't post them for sale here in the "Buy Sell Trade" subforum as you do not have enough posts yet for BST privileges.

You can always just hang on to them.

Some few women shave pits and legs with straight razors, but not many. A few appreciate when hubby or BF does it for them. Just sayin. A basic level of skill is of course required to make this an enjoyable experience instead of a bloodbath.

From your phone you go to the bottom of the page, any page, and select the full site mode. Not mobile mode. This will make your phone act as a pc when displaying. Then you can upload as was stated above. I too am not great on the computer stuff but after a bit of time i muddle through it.

Will be waiting to see what you have.
