BUDGET STRAIGHT OPEN RAZOR by NIPPES SOLINGEN GERMANY - eBay (item 320477362950 end time Feb-18-10 17:46:13 PST)

Nippes Germany?

Dunno.. i might try it if it was Gold Arrow price

I don't know anything about that razor - but the seller makes me suspicious with a listing selling a $12.00 styptic pencil you can get most anywhere for $2.00. CLUBMAN STYPTIC PEN FREE DELIVERY, CHRISTMAS GIFT - eBay (item 320460247896 end time Feb-06-10 17:19:45 PST)

Poorly worded, unusual terms and descriptions of the items. I would avoid that one based solely on the seller at this point. It is highly doubtful any real bargains here.

My .02 cents.

Umm Elegant 5/8" carbon steel blade (Solingen top rated stainless steel,

dosnt seem like the seller knows what it is atleast

seems a little strange that the produser only list one too

I'm gonna put it out there that this DOES look like a solingen blade, probably a Dovo contract or something. What I'm wondering is, is it a cheap, no frills razor for a barber (not a user/collector) as it seems to be in the catalogue, or is it a Dovo second/with poor QC?

the funny thing is, "Nippes" in german (or an accent spoken in Hessen) often means:
trash, or useless stuff :rofl2:

I really donnu about the quality, though ^^
