And only one "thank you", for all that work?

I wouldn't mind betting that's been re-ground being so thin. Short of reshaping the nose, just see how it hones up.

I don't really see any other signs of a regrind, although, it is really really hollow ground....

Here is an older FBU, a For Barbers Only, and a Celebrated FBU. Note the grinds. None have been reground. Not sure if the pic is clear enough but maybe you can compare. One way or the other, hone it, shave and enjoy it.

If you bought that razor from a ebay vendor in oregon than I suggest you send it back asap. They buff their razors to death. I got one from them with the toe floppy, literally ruined from overheating during buffing.
That may actually be the one I sent back lol.

Either you are the same member who started a thread about that 'buffed to death' razor some time back, or yet another member had the same experience ...... IIRC. I had forgotten about that but your post above brought it back to mind. Hope that is not the same seller but if you can link to the old thread maybe we can compare the razors ?

As a matter of fact, the ebay seller is a vendor from Oregon....Should I send it back?

Ill take a wild guess that they asker you to pay outside ebay aswell.
Send it back immediately.
Report to paypal first. Thats at least the 3rd time the razor has sold on ebay.
If you go back to the auction it will clearly state "no returns", this guys a total a hole.

I payed paypal and he is offering 14 day returns on the auction. I sent him a message, we shall see what he says. Such a shame, this WAS such a nice razor

Sorry to hear, I messaged him last time I saw it listed with a ethics rant. He then added " temper is blown, otherwise 5 star condition" or something to that effect.
He knows what he is doing is wrong, hes just waiting for a razor collector that doesnt shave with a straight.
Funny thing is, thats not the same razor, one is fbu and the other is fbo. Clearly the same guy buffing the razors.
