    Later on, you will be able to. But a new person who wants to shave needs a razor from someone who knows something about razors.

    If you're still determined. I suggest perusing the Ebay 101 thread. It has lots of pictures of lots of razors you should avoid.
    good point !!! i never went looking until i was on here a lot , good thing cause ive come across a bunch that I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT not knowing what i know now !!

    i carry a little mag glass in my pocket also to check for cracks and have even brought a little flashlight !! the shop owners look at you funny but i have poor vision and those stores are sometimes dark , any help i can get , ill take !!!!!!!!!

    dont limit yourself to just razors while shopping antique stores ..
