Thread: Where are the inexpensive razors?

Even if you somehow manage to find a decent razor for $3. Add $20 plus shipping to get it honed.

Doesnt a package of fusion blades cost more than $10?

I'm currently doing some research and stashing away money to purchase a better razor/brush/strop/soap setup.

Is it possible to get a decent quality (maybe not shave ready) straight razor for under $10.
whenever I google straight razor I keep running into these stories about people being able to find straight razors and pawn shops, or thrifts stores for $3 and less. Does that happen.

I thought I was finding bargains in the classified section on this website, but is it true? Can straight razors be bought that cheap?

I think that with little luck you might find decent razors under 10 bucks from flea markets, but you have to recognize what is a decent razor and what is not, or is the condition of the razor worth trying to make it a good shaver.

Forget eBay for now. Straight shaving seems to become quite popular, and currently people are paying brainless amount of money for some razor brands.
I would recommend you to watch classifieds where you can still find shave ready razors with reasonable price.
