Please point me to the right person
I purchased a Wusthof s/s Barber King #377 5/8 it has never been used, for shaving that is. Apparently it was used as a drum stick because it has four maybe five dents on the edge. Is anyone subscribed to this forum able to handle this type of repair? Or maybe knows who can and how much I can expect to pay for it? I mentioned this shaver on the neubies corner but got no answer as to whom may repair it, figure give it another shot, perhaps this is the appropiate forum.
This was my first purchase and through e bay at that. I realize now that I payed way too much(learning experience). At least if I can end up with a good shaver then the pain :cry: will not be so great on the end.
:shrug: Someone point me to the right person or company, please!.
Thanks,
Ricardo
After all this blade was no match to his skills!
:tu Hi Guys,
If I had my cover (hat) on I would tip it to this gentleman,:bow If you've followed my Wusthof saga then you'll know by now that this razor was 1/2 of my first experience buying a straight razor on ebay, half because I got two blades from the same guy, (at least the other one was in good shape). At first look I wished having read the forum more in depth before jumping into the unknown. But like my Dad told me " a bad experience is all bad only, if you fail to learn or extract something positive from it" After receiving the blade and realizing the trouble at hand I turned to the forum members for help. Here I found no lack of help and advice.
I was first approached by Joe Chandler who answered to my plead. :cry: He was the first "honemeister" to witness the deplorable shape of the blade. Being very leary at the low survival possibilities of this blade, gallantly referred me to Bill Ellis for a second opinion. I contacted and sent the blade to Bill, he was also leery at the low probabilities for the blade's survival but to my luck and to his credit the afflicted blade was no match to his skill. I will like to mention and thank Glen Glockner whom also offered me his help, Glen was also a bidder on this blade.
So as a result, I met good people, saved Glen from a headache of a purchase :eek: and it looks like after all I will end up with a special shaver:y. Not so much for the blade itself but for the good experiences that will be attached to it.:nj
