    Do these come shave ready from China or only if purchased from U.S. seller ? If so who ?

    I got mine from a UK Seller that has Reworked this razor and set the bevel..They are not shave ready when they come from China..Some need a lot of work apparently...This USA EBay seller does them with a Guarantee..:)

    Yeah, @Billyfergie is spot on. They do not come shave ready, and only a percentage of them can be made shave ready. Generally experts will buy ten to twenty of them, looking for the five or so that are fixable. As for where to get them already fixed...no clue.

    I should either be really happy...or worried...that I'm always the only one that bids on these old metal cartridge razors.
    This one was $5...and the one I bought before this about $1.

    This is a Wilkinson WII by Sir Kenneth Grange (again) and is, along with the Protector, my favorite types of handle.

    This lot was mostly to flip. I know of the rolls razor and I know about the gem ( looks nos?) but these two other razors.. I'm not familiar with. They are unusual to me.

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    Just put in an order to Chatillon Lux... Their new aftershaves just came out and sound great. Alcohol based with lots of healing stuff in them

    I got:
    Gratiot League Square, 2 oz bottle
    La ForĂȘt de Liguest, sample
    Champs de Lavande, sample
    Bon Vivant, sample
    Delor de Treget, sample
    Vide Poche, sample

    The Gratiot sounded the yummiest, tobacco, leather, rose, clove, nutmeg, sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla, musk, bergamot, and amber.

    Can't wait.

    Want to learn with a straight. Yes, all 4 of them.

    What do you think of my hauls? I might need some help with recognizing most of them.

    After receiving a RazoRock Plissoft Disruptor Synthetic for my oldest son yesterday I had to order one for myself. This brush feels so nice in hand, it's a great buy.

    I was going to give my son my Plisson, but I decided that I better keep it and order a Disruptor instead for myself.
