Does anyone know where to find a cheap Wapi?
I've scoured eBay and there isn't a single one left :[

Wapienicas are becoming hard to find these days... Steve Dempster (Blueprinciple here) had some in his online shop (Introduction to razors) but they're sold out. Apparently he sold the last one yesterday because I wanted to buy one as a Xmas gift for my brother and they were marked as sold out. Maybe some new stock is due to arrive any time soon. You could contact him... the ones he sells are not exactly cheap but they are top range Wapienicas. I should know... I bought mine from him!
Anyway... good luck finding one for yourself!

Thanks. Looks like I came into the whole straight razor scene a few months too late.

I just bought three Wapis from Steve Dempster about a week ago because I'm going to offer traditional barber shaves and I needed autoclavable razors (stainless steel scales).

Thank you very much, but I cannot except your kind offer. I sent you a PM regarding how much I appreciate your beneficence. I'm simply looking for a Wapi to practice on, since I know they can hold a sweet edge and are good shavers.

They seem to show up in little bursts on e-bay and on the buy/sell sections here and on Badgerandblade. Seems like there were a few on the boards a week or three ago, can’t distinctly remember. Just be diligent and watch, you got to be looking when the next one/s pops up, you will be able to score eventually.
