    Active auction so can't link to it but I wonder how many of us are following the count-down on the Tradere OC auction lol

    With such a low serial number I'm expecting some big snipes coming in in the last few seconds.

    They are really nice shavers. I'm lucky enough to have one of the SB razors. Wish I had purchased an OC before they shut down.

    I never did hear why they went out of business. They were very popular DE razors

    Tradere razors do not show up often for sale. They are even more scarce than Weber DLC or ARC razors.

    I keep hoping that I'll get a chance to snag an OC some day.

    JR Reyes I scream for....chicken wings??

    Was it a gen 1 in the original case? Sounds like a collector piece.

    I did a write-up some time ago over here and it includes a little bit about why Richard ended up closing down Tradere.

    Yeah, someone got this for a bargain price (as much as a razor for $290 can be called a bargain...) I had expected closer to $400).

    Thank you.


    What a shame. They were well made and loved razors.

    I agree. Fantastic razors.
    I have the OC and want the SB - so I'm the opposite of you.
