I was thinkin' -- I know that because I'm still nauseous -- has anyone else thought about a condition rating system for vintage straights? Maybe a sub-forum where vintage razors could be graded --by condition, not value -- and some standards considered and applied. It might help the uninitiated in their shopping, and be a topic of some discussion.
I'll go back in my hole now.
Condition is so subjective... at least to the owner.
The old "If it's mine, it's stuff; you own crap" syndrome.
I think it is " buyer beware" or something like that...............JR
What I would like to see is something along the NRA rating system used for guns. The item would start at NIB 100% and then work its way down the scale, subtracting percentage points for individual flaws. It would still be somewhat subjective between the eyes of the beholder(s), but I think it would work.
If i am not mistaken it has been done long time ago for our classified sale.
Lets say if i am selling razor and it is condition fair and i put excellent?
i cannot do so.
where it is i am not sure but i know it should be somewhere in SRP.
Or add points for correcting individual flaws :)Quote:

I could be wrong, but I hope & think that I am not...
Either a razor is Near NOS or a restorers dream....
I just tell people don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.
