    First in in April :D

    Received this little big beauty.

    It's a NIB/NOS (if you can say NOS for a razor that was made just a few years ago) OC-version of Tradere.

    This is an all-stainless-steel razor made in the US and it has some weight to it.

    Looks really neat and I've already picked it to be the razor to shave with next week :D

    No way! you lucky dog. Im curious if its first or second gen. They no longer make these razors so you scored big time. I've seen them fetch close to $200. I think first gen was just over 200 made.

    I hear it shaves fairly aggressive, so I look forward to your thoughts.

    Is there a way of telling if it's 1st or 2nd gen?

    I do wonder if they'll ever start up production again....seems like a really high quality razor. I THINK they went for around $150 new?

    If I hate it it will be added to the big sell-off list for the end of the year :)
    Hoping I don't hate it though...

    I was SO close to also get the close comb/safety bar version but he changed his mind on that one...

    Based on the serial number, I'm guessing 2nd gen. The first gen were open comb, but I'm pretty sure that batch was just over 200 produced. I honestly doubt they will ever start up again. My former boss had 2 first gen, but sold one to a collector overseas. I have a ton of respect for how you find all of these great deals. It's a very nice razor, and will make another great addition to your museum...lol.

    Thanks JR.
    Too bad about the Tradere company - it seems like they had a great product.

    West Coast Shaving sells Tradere for $169. I presume that's until their stock runs out.

    Are they just holding out hope for a return to production then?
