Thread: How to part with a razor?

Hello gents,

It's been too long since I've showed myself around these parts. And I come with hat in hand to ask for advice of my elders, and any whippersnappers around.

How do you part with a beloved razor? I ask because I am a graduate student, and as much as I love it, the razor I have represents too much sunken capital for me to hold on to it.

But it's so lovely....oh, and I don't know the best way to go about selling a razor, frankly. I see B/S/T and ebay, but any input on what works best?

I'd run it by the members before I went to ebay with it.

Okay thanks. And I presume posting in B/S/T is the way to do that? Or would I also make a post somewhere else to let folks know?

Follow the 'classifieds' tab. People here may not be willing to pay Ebay prices, but I'd sooner entrust a much loved razor to an experienced member than some vaguely interested prospector on the bay. just my opinion of course.

You don't have enough posts to qualify to put it in the SRP classifieds. The mods keep an eye on people with requisite time, but not requisite posts, in case they try to inflate their post count with drivel. Not suggesting you would. Just saying ..... so ebay sounds like your best bet.

He might have enough, aren't the rules 100/three months or 50/six months, he's got 77 and four years.

Very well said Obie! Things are things and we sometimes grow fawn of them. We can't take them with us when we die. The only things we take with us is our relationships with others. And that for me put "things" in perspective.

How true...As my late mother-in-law was fond of saying, "Nobody's hearse has ever been followed to the cemetery by a Brinks armored car."

Nor has anybody's hearse ever been followed to the cemetery by a moving van.

Straight razors come and go. What you consider the favorite razor you just can't part with today will be replaced by another favorite in the future.

An education is forever.

You're doing an honorable thing danb, your educaiton and future always come first. Post some picks up, one of us might end up liking it and PMing you to buy it!

Lucky for you that razor is still available. When times are better you can still buy a new one with a fresh edge by Lynn. Try that with a rusty old warped scaled worm eaten vintage blade and you will not be so lucky. I miss some of my old beaters but have found suitable replacements. I am sure you can do the same.
