    Default Did I get a highly collectable razor for a great price or did I waste money on junk?

    Last night I put a low bid on this razor on Ebay just to see what would happen. It was advertised as an Asian Folding Knife Straight Razor. I wasn't prepared to spend a lot because I don't know if it is a real razor or a good looking fake. I suspect that it could be a Japanese razor but I don't know a lot about them.
    So, can anyone tell me if I have a good razor or have I wasted my money?

    Posts like this always make me curse my work's ebay blocker. I would love to see what you're talking about, and I HATE waiting.

    I'm not an expert, in fact I haven't received my first razor yet. But I've learned a lot just looking around. And assuming that isn't some crazy amazing false aged look thing, I would say you have a legit product on your hands.

    Like I said though, I'm not an expert by any means.

    Thats an official disclaimer.

    The link is not working for me, but based on the name, i'm skeptical.

    I'm not sure it's a collectors piece, but it looks like a legitimate razor to me.

    The Japanese teacher at my school just walked into my office. She said it basicly says product of ShangHai. If it turns out to shave well I will be very happy. If I wasted my money, not to worry, it wasn't much anyway.
