    Default Discussion of Prices !!!

    Gentlemen & Ladies (now)
    Since we have been experiencing a huge growth in the last year of SRP
    I thought I better post an addition to the Workshop forum guidelines....

    We Don't condone the discussion of prices whether it be the price that you should pay for a razor on e-bay or the price that it would cost to restore said razor....... Please keep these discussions to PM's or Emails not in the threads on the open forum... This is just SRP etiquette it is not written in the rules so it has been a little confusing....

    Most all of us that do Restoration/Honing are listed here in the classifieds many of us have our e-mail and websites listed also...


    Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds


    Still confused ???? Feel free to PM a MOD,,, Any of us will be more than happy to point you in the right direction...
