    Default Ebay had to buy.

    Even though I'm a currently still very new to straight razors, i was just hunting on ebay for a nice cheap straight razor, as I'm in Australia, i don't think there's a large following or collectors of straight razors here.

    There was 5 nice straight razors for sale;

    1. Near mint Blue Wonder made in Germany.
    2. A good condition Gotta Razor re-handled Made in England.
    3. Near mint SHAVEESI made in England.
    4. Near mint Invitca Coronet made England.
    5. And a KUKRI That i won, made in Germany.

    All in very good condition, and all went for cheap, they varied from $50 dollars to $112.

    The KUKRI razor i got is very nice, good condition blade, a nice handle, not sure what the material is, looks like a clear orange-red color like bourbon or whiskey.

    On the tang says: KUKRI Garantie-Solingen, and has a very nice pattern on the spine, i think its an excellent buy for $50 dollars, plus $4.50 postage.

    I'll make sure to take some pictures when i get it, not sure i should show his pictures.

    Thanks Mark~

    I was watching all of them too, just not in my budget at the moment.
    The Kukri looks nice, I like the spine work, enjoy

    Here are just a few snaps to give you an idea, this blade actually came to me very sharp, all it needs is a good strop i think, still shaves hair off arm, but wont pop a hanging hair.




    Cheers Mark~

    I saw that on eBay but I had too many bids in on other razors to be tempted. I think you got a good buy.

    Yeah for the money, i can't complain, the other razors that were on sale went for very reasonable prices too.

    But i chose to get this one as it had the spine pattern which caught my eye, something different, even if its not good for shaving its a nice show peice.

    Thanks Mark~
