I just won an auction on two Rolls Razors with rust on the blades - but completely intact hones! (one with a torn up strop, and missing a handle) I'll check the blades out, and probably see if @twhite wants a go at them. Once they're cleaned up, I'll see how many complete ones I can put together, and offer up the rest as parts. If I have more than two completely complete, I'll offer the extras up as well. I'm trying to get two fully functional ones together. One for me, and one to give away to my best friend of 30+ years. Oh yes, and a laptop battery.
I sent the seller a message Saturday and I'm not sure if it went through.I sent another one today(monday) and Ebay said give the vendor til thursday to respond.Hopefully he will respond Tuesday.I have not had any issues with Ebay transactions til now.
Packages from china are like finding a four leaf clover. You may find one or two quickly, but it will take forever if you really want it. Have patience, it will come.
Actually the guy is in Texas which is one of the reasons I ordered from him,At least that was the location in his ad page.I know items from india and china are hit and miss.When I order from those place I generally give it a month before I start worrying.This should have been here in 4-7 days.AND still no reply.
Since this line is being discontinued, I figured I would try one. Chose Oceana. One critic said it smelled like Baby Wipes.
I'll be pulling the trigger on some injector blades from you - my father needs a couple for his skiver.
Ordered eight Finest badger knots in a variety of sizes. This is for a bunch of restores I've had hanging around my house; and that's not even for the ones I want to keep. Now the long wait for that slow boat from China. Usually takes about 12 days.
RE:missing razor Got a reply from the vendor who wanted to know if I still wanted the razor.This reply was in response to the ebay form reply which starts off: I want the item.So I told him to send the razor and posted my address to make sure he had the correct addy.So hopefully he will post the item Thursday and I'll see it next wednesday/thursday.This is kind of aggravating,starting to get on my nerves.
