What I find today

today i go to market. i buy some food for home and when i start walk back seeing small stand with many kind of object. I start looking and find this straight razor made by KROPP. I almost not belive my eyes. I ask owner how much he want for it and he ask 35 dollar in local money. i not want to offend him so i not try to bring him down the price. i dont know if price was too much. It is looking very good. i dont think it shaves many times. later I send it for complete restoration so it will be like new.

Very Nice, Salomon. Kropp is very good. Enjoy! :chapeau

Very nice!!!!! You scored a beauty for sure. Once you get it back from restoration I'm willing to bet you'll be very pleased with it.

looks pretty good to me. I would hone it up and give him a ride.

Gongrats, kropp are very nice and good razors.

today i try to shave with new razor. i boiling first in water so to make clean. then i make sharp on my stone and belt. shave was very smooth. i am happy with outcome.

Nice catch. If you want to get it polished up like new send manah (Alex) a private message and ask what he will charge. He is also in Israel and is a very good razor restorer.

Is it considered impolite bidding down?
Usually I bid down just out of principle :) Unless of course the price is already dirt cheap.

Yeah, I thought the OP might have "offended" the seller by not haggling ...... :p Even at that, $35.00 ain't half bad for that Kropp.

i do not think is impolite. sometimes the price seems fair so i pay with no argument. I have jeweler friend in my area. i send it to him.

Salomon, congratulations on a fine looking razor !!....I think yours and mine are brothers :D
