That would make sense... If they can be properly honed and hold an edge they might be worth it when they have a good sale here and there.

Wanted to update since I haven't been on lately.

I received two of their Damascus razors to test but I have not had a chance to photograph them as I've been super busy.

One thing I can say...

Like has offered that anyone here that would like to test one of their razors for themselves can get hold of him to get a sample blade for review. They keep a small stock of "do not sell" razors that...

We're building a rapport for sure. Believe me it didn't start that way. I was rather harsh and a bit over the top at first (it took a while to get to the heart if the situation) and he was...

I'd like to offer an update on the situation which led me to start this post in the first place.

I have been in contact with the owner of vintagestraightrazor.com about the state in which I...

Also just picked up a Dubl Duck Special no 1 (pearlduck) and a Crown & Sword (ERN 1935) from a local flea market. They all need some cleanup and a good honing but I'm pretty happy and excited to get...

I'm going to take some pictures as is tonight before I start cleaning some of the surface rust and inspecting it further. I'm under the assumption based on other peoples experiences with Morleys that...

Just picked up a Morley from a local consignment shop for a song. Just needs a little cleaning and to be honed and I think I have a winner (aside from an aesthetic chip in the tang side of the...

I really appreciate the offer and I might take you up on it in a few weeks. I think what I'd really like to do is peek through a bunch of the local antique shops and a couple flea markets to see if I...

As you can see from the photos I took of it, it practically has a double frown and the edge and spine are both a little warped.

This was a brand new razor sold as shave-ready.

They are...

Here are some photos I've been able to get of the various angles and things I've noticed.

Taken with a 60mm Macro lens and adjusted for lens distortion.

I've seen information on the site aimed at beginners which explain the different grinds and sizes and methods and manufacturers and such but I'm not seeing an inspection checklist so that when you...

I wouldn't say it's sad, per se. But I've got the sneaking suspicion that this happens to many hundreds of people weekly that do not stumble across this website and they automatically get turned off...

I have the razor in my hand right now. Turns out the mailman was late yesterday so when I checked the mail he had not delivered anything yet.

A couple things I've noticed so far.

-The edge does...

I purchased from vintagestraightrazor.com after I came across a deal on deals.woot

They also do business as featherrazor.com

I ordered the "Exotic Cherry Pakka Wood Razor" (paid $19.99 plus...

If it is a bad quality razor it should be added to the list and talked about maybe. I can't imagine other people have not purchased from the site (and sister sites) I did.

The manufacturer is claimed to be GB Buckingham & Sons. They do not show up on either the good or bad list (or the rest of the internet for that matter). I'm pretty sure it's going to turn out the...

A crazy impulse buy from a deal-centric site that I frequent has led to me purchase a stupid cheap straight razor and my extreme lack of research has lead me to this fantastic site. I'm starting to...
