WTB: razor for a noob friend
One of my friends is going to have his birthday at the end of July. He has gone crazy about str8s, so I am thinking about a nice present. It should be round pointed, 5/8 or 6/8 in mint or excellent condition. As he is a beginner and got tough, dense beard, I am thinking about a more wedge / less hollow like razor. And, not to mention, it should be shave ready!
Any offers welcome! Please, do not forget to attach pics! Thanks!
I don't have one for sale but I might suggest a nice shave ready Wapi razor. They shave a tough beard well and you cant beat the price. Several people on the forum sell them. Wapis are about 1/2 hollow ground.
Any other offers / ideas???
mint/excellent condition vintage razors tend to be more expensive, esp. wedges as these are generally older. of course there are exceptions - for example case has a wedge that often can be found relatively cheap. you can always buy a new dovo as well - their grind is fairly stiff, or the TI gnome I think is wedge as well. in any case your budget could determine a lot of your options, so giving some idea of what it is may be helpful.
give it few days and see what shows up.
I know that it is hard to get excellent or near mint condition str8s, but that is what I am aiming for. However, it does not mean that I would not take a look at razors in good condition.
By the way, is there such a thing as wedge razor with rounded point? Just wondering...
I willing to spend max. $90 on this gift. What do you think? Is that reasonable for such a razor?
yes, I have several. note that 'wedge' is rather felxible term, true wedge is very rare, so at what level of hollowing you start calling them wedge is somewhat arbitrary.Originally Posted by ottoman
perhaps - you'll find out. the ones in my collection are significantly outside of your price range though.
