Hi SRP,

Dovo "Classic Black", 5/8"

First I'm selling a Dovo "Classic Black", 5/8". I used the blade 4 times and that's all I took, I was hooked. I figured why wait and after the 4th shave I picked up a Red Bismarck (Fantastic Razor) and a 3" TM Latigo. The blade was honed by Lynn Abrams and is therefore shave ready. If that isn't convincing enough, the fact that it took me only 4 shaves to get hooked should be. After each use the blade was rinsed off and lightly greased with mineral oil, since I shave about every 3-4 days, and is therefore in great condition except for a few water marks which can be polished out if you have the time. The blade is completely rust free, the blade is centered and the pins are tight. Unlike most of the people here, I never caught RAD and therefore only need one razor and one strop . Overall, if youre new to straight razor shaving and want to get into the game, this is a great razor to start. The pics of the razor are attached and can be seen below. Asking $50 Shipped CONUS. Razor will be shipped disinfected and greased to preserve it during travel.

Tony Miller Artisan Latigo 2-1/2" Wide with "D" Rings

Next we have the TM Artisan Red Latigo strop. It is a Red Latigo/Linen combination. This was my first strop and I absolutely loved it, so much so that I upgraded to 3" because i prefer the width. The draw on the strop is fantastic not to mention the strop itself is beutiful. This was my first strop so I did nick it a few times but always very minor and I had each nick sanded out. They were so minor I doubt they even showed up very well in the pictures. This is a great strop for either the beginner or the straight razor veteran. Pictures of the strop are attached and can be seen below. Asking $60 shipped CONUS.

If anyone needs to see more pics/angles or what not, please feel free to ask.

That's a great razor strap - I have the same model and it's a stunningly smooth, consistent, and responsive stretch of leather

PM on both.

[thevoicestellmeto]

Pm sent for you to consider. Thanks

[Rival]

Payment Pending! Thanks again SRP!

[RetroGrouch]

Hmmm.... far as I can know, I was the first to PM. Never got a response. Next thing I see, it's sold?

[coachmike]

Sometimes someone will send a PM in and not post that they did. Then you will see it SOLD and wonder why.

[RetroGrouch]

Mike,

Yes, I'm cool with that. But if you look at the timing, I was pretty quick to respond. Then over 24 hours later -- without ever responding to my PM -- it's "sold".

Pretty rude, I thought.

Another Mike

Give the guy a break.. He just signed up in april and i know it took me longer than that to get the hang of BST... Heck I didn't even know how to use paypal...

Indeed...the first person to PM was actually me, without posting that I had done so. After seeing that two newer guys had posted saying they sent PMs, I PMed again and stood aside. Rival thanked me for doing so and that was the last I heard. I assumed that it had gone to RetroGrouch , but only Rival knows the order the PMs were received in for sure. Just PM and ask what happened, I'm sure he didn't skip over anyone intentionally.....

[RetroGrouch]

I didn't intend for this to turn into a big discussion. Just venting my frustration (and living up to my handle?) B&S isn't that complicated, just common courtesy really.

And I didn't PM him again, as I didn't get a response to my last one.

No big deal, I'm over it. Let's let it drop.

[Doc]

yes lets drop this guys. I am sure everything is squared away now.
