Thread: Double Arrow Razor

I am looking to purchase my first straight razor and am new to the forums. I have heard double arrow is good, so I went search ebay and picked up one for $10 brand new. Then I realized the ad said not stamped with the double arrow logo and was wondering if its just a cheap knock off that will cut my face. Can anyone verify if this would be a legit good razor or not:

Famous Double Arrow straight razor. Sharp as a...razor. - eBay (item 220291211923 end time Jan-04-09 18:12:06 PST)


Thanks.

That's the legit double arrow talked about here on the forum

actually, the unstamped double arrows are BETTER than the stamped ones. that seller is well known here and is a good guy who will sell you a decent razor.

unstamped double arrows make very good shavers.

WARNING: it ain't gonna be shave ready when you get it, it won't even cut hair. send it to a honemeister, you won't regret it.

thanks for the help guys. I sent him an email asking if he could hone it for me because he mentioned that. I look forward to trying it out.

It could come half usable, mine did.

Im new to the forums, im looking to get my first straight razor and i found a zeepk on ebay. I was wondering if anyone has any information on the brand?

Zeepk Straight Razor Tortoise shell handle Carbon new - eBay (item 220326494187 end time Dec-15-08 11:48:41 PST)

Zeepk are definitely a brand to stay away from

Is the stamp on the blade or between the scales? I have two that have a stamp between the scales - nothing on the blade - and they're terrible. I'm disappointed because I bought an earlier one, which I since gave away, and it was a great shaver. I don't remember how the earlier one looked.
