Woo-hoo! I finally pulled the trigger on one of stamps222's Wapis on eBay. I've been wanting one, and the price was certainly right.
Looking forward to welcoming it to its new home, getting it honed, and trying it out. :D

Wow that's cool :-) You will find this to give a nice shave.
Hmm.. I was not aware that stamps222 sold Wapi's...
You're going to love it. I'm super impressed by what a great shave I get from my Wapi. I think it's the best deal in town (mine was $30 shipped). Dunno why I waited so long to get one.
Don't forget to post pics of it!! :D
Just to let you know... it takes a while for these to get to your front door from stamps.
Yes, he gives somewhat of a heads-up about that in the listing. Apparently he's based in the US?, but the Wapis ship from Europe. Given his eBay ratings and what I've read here on SRP about him, I figure the arrangement is reliable, however it works.
I forgot to link to the listing.
And since I don't have a digital camera at home, for now I'll just post the picture from eBay.

Yeah. they must only ship on certain days too. took 5 days for mine to ship.Quote:

Just honed up a few of these and they are still very decent shavers. Actually one will be heading for a future SRP give away........:)
Have fun,

I ordered one too from Stamps22. I read the statement he added to the original listing about shipping taking up to ten days, but I still haven't received mine. The order dates from Feb 8th, my first (yet unanswered) inquiring message from Feb 25th, and a second one just before reading this thread. Were it not for his favourable critique here and in the eBay feedback pages, I'd really begin to worry a bit.
Mine just arrived. It even has the triangular stamp!--which wasn't pictured in the listing. To my eye it's a beautiful razor; I even like the extra heft of the stainless scales.

Mine never arrived. Lots of things apparently went wrong: it got shipped weeks after payment, then it got lost, replies to my e-mails were missent, the tracking number didn't work, refund was made to the wrong person - but in the end I did receive my money back, including shipment costs. That was last week, so well outside the 45 day eBay/Paypal complaints window, which just tipped the balance of my belief in the honesty of Stamps222 in the right direction.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Steve at invisibleedge often has Wapi's for sale. They don't cost that much and he is in the UK. :tu
I'm sorry to hear about your experience too, Oldengaerde, though happy that you did at least get the price and shipping back. I just had the one transaction with stamps222, but he seemed like a good guy to me, and it sounds like he made it right as much as he could. Better luck with the next try--I think you'll like the Wapi once you get it.
