Thread: why does no one want this straight?.......

There are 5000+ views on this (including about 8 from me) and I really want it but don't want to pay $80 for it. Why is no one else buying it? Also, is it a 8/8?

grant9908,

A 6/8 Gong was what I started straight razor shaving with in the late 80s; I have two 6/8 Gongs' now, and a 'tiny' Gong (9/16) and they are very nice shavers

As to the size of the razor in the pictures, I cannot tell, but would suggest that it might be a 6/8 or a 13/16 ?

Why not make an offer for the razor ? (send a PM to BuddyRockafella)

Have fun & good luck !

Best regards

Russ

.......would that I could........but I *just bought a razor off here a few weeks ago and my fiancee would *kill* me if I bought another one before even really using this last one.....see....I'm a family man and my sales pitch for starting all this in the first place was that the Fusion cartridges I was buying were $5.07 a cartridge and were only going to keep getting more pricey.....as to where this was a one time investment and done. DAMN YOU R.A.D. lol but what I really wanted to know was why so many views and no one is buying it? Is something wrong so that masses of people are saying no?

He is asking more than anyone is willing to pay apparently.It's a 7/8.
But this thread might help it sell

grant9908,

RAD - Resistance is futile

Have fun !

Now if it was a regular 6/8, the price would definitely be too much, I'd expect a 6/8 to be at least 50% less, but 7/8 is big boys stuff, and $80 doesn't seem that bad at all, and worldwide shipping is included.
If I weren't broke from RAD, I'd be all over it!

Refer to this thread to placate your fiancee

Now that we have that sorted, buy it and enjoy the ride....hehehehe
Seriously, I would probably look more favourably on this razor if it were a heavier grind - I'm having enough trouble with a full hollow let alone an extra hollow.
Just my $0.02
Cheers,
Geoff

What's the difference? Where is the problem? I'm new.

A full hollow feels quite different from a wedge grind, and can be a bit more difficult to use, a wedge is more forgiving to your angle and may feel easier to use. Hollow gives better feedback, wedges are silent ninja slicers...

So I need a wedge. That's all you had to say, is "you need a wedge."
