Thread: Sanssouci Razor Arrived.. anyone seen these markings before?

Ebay special Sanssouci Solingen NOS arrived today. I was excited for this.. as I've heard it's a good shaver.

Must say, I was a bit disappointed, as the razor is quite different than the one pictured on ebay. The graphic on the blade is completely different.. and not as interesting.. the point that was pictured was roundtip.. this is obviously not.. and there is a marking that I can't really figure out on the back of the tang.. maybe one of you guys have seen this before.

Anyway.. I wrote to the seller.. I'll let you guys know what his suggested resolution is. Kinda peeved.

that is crap! I remember you posting about the razor originally and that is not even close to what you posted! im not sure as to how it will shave or anything but just the fact of them not describing it properly would be enough for me to want to send it back! let us know what you decide....I can't help with the markings though

Sleek, I'm just frustrated by the misrepresentation. I don't plan on returning it.. especially after I just had a shave with it! BTW I see you're from Ontario.. Toronto area?

fair enough, enjoy it...I will say that it is an attractive razor regardless of the story

Could have been an honest mistake, one time an ebay seller sent me some non-fire resistant ACU pants when I'd ordered the FR version and he insisted I keep the cotton ones while he sent the ones I had originally ordered free of charge. Some times ebay is a wonderful place.

Well said. I'm reserving judgement until I hear what he has to say, as he's been pretty friendly and helpful so far. Like I said, I'll update you guys!

It still is a nice razor. If it is not what was auctioned and you like it, then awesome deal. Its all about how it performs and if you feel it was worth it. Sellers sometimes make honest mistakes. I have had a few issues with sellers too. The worst feeling in the world is waiting for your razor and it not being what you wanted.

UPDATE:

So I wanted to get the update out there "straight" away. The seller contacted me this morning, and explained that he neglected to actually open the razor and instead just looked at the scales. He apologized and has already sent the other razor in the mail, and told me to keep the one I already received.

This is much more than I expected, and I have to say I still have faith in humanity after this.. after all.. he's a straight razor guy.. should I have expected any less?

Moral of the story, glad I didn't go banana's before I heard from him. Good advice from the guys on the forum, and I told the seller I'd be happy to buy from him again in the future. (and I most certainly will.)

Cheers,

Andrew

Have had the same issue with the same seller (wrong razor) He has always more than made up for it.
He may get a little confused at times,But an honest seller.
