    From the number still available NEW, I think someone added an extra zero when the order for the blanks. To bad that doesn't happen with quality razor blanks.

    Couple of years ago there was a thread on a pattern welded steel razor coming out of Pakistan IIRC. One way or another the vendor for same came to SRP and .... to make a long story short..... he sent his best work to holli4pirating to be honed and brought to shave ready. The grind , as in workmanship, was terrible and the steel was worse. So if it seems the prices for those things are too good to be true .... you get what you pay for.

    I'll buy one, closes in 5m at 1 cent, if, Jimmy will hone it, and, we can send it to Wullie - he'll try anything, and mapleleafalumnus can write the critique, and well that should just about take care of everything, except, well, maybe the doctor's bills.

    Insincerely,

    Now if someone made a legit (i.e. a real razor not an object resembling a razor) copy who would be interested?

    Come on... be honest now! I didn't think it was that great a flick, but I'd sign up for one if it was actually a quality blade.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    By the time Jimmy gets it honed, I doubt there will be much left besides the scales.

    Yeah Willie, but I could hone it and the second time you tried to use it you'd just have to butter bread with it.

    That still bugs me!!!
