Is he a member here?

Shaving off the Norton 8000; he's a more rugged man than I am.

It's probably "pre-crash" when I said this, but my opinion regarding Ebay claims from any seller that a razor is "shave ready" is that it means nothing to me. The obvious reason being that I can hone my own razors, but really what I mean is that I would place no additional value on an Ebay razor with such a claim. Where's the accountability? If I were to buy a razor off BST here and found it not to my liking, I'm confident that down to a man, the seller would touch it up or take it back. Doubtful one would find such protection on Ebay.

I just hope if newbies are buying "shave ready" razors off Ebay, like the seller on this post you've linked to claims, that they're not "doing the math" in arriving at their bid limit; "Let's see, the average honemeister charge from an SRP member is $20, so I'll add $20 to my Ebay bid for that shave ready razor......".
