Thread: good for a beginner?

I just bought a giardo solingen razor. Has anyone had any experience with these? On the description it stated high carbon professionally honed. Are they decent? Thanks in advance!

Any more details?
solingen made should make it decent, now where did you say you got it?

Oh and Welcome to SRP

Oh, thank you. Well I ordered it yesterday so I haven't gotten it yet but here's the url Solingen Black Handled Straight Razor and thank you for the quick reply sir. I just got worried about the puchase because I heard some rumor that pakistani blades are being sold as solingen made blades and I haven't heard of giardo before so...

Seing that its a new razor with bad picture worryes me a little
Also nowhere in that ad does it say professionaly honed.
It says hand honed in germany, wich is the same as saying factory edge

Now i would suggest getting out of that deal if you can, as i notice that the Dovos on that site seem a bit overpriced

Being weekend you got a little extra time,
but if you dont get a good word on that razor come opening time i suggest looking for a better deal

Almost all good new blades cost more then the basic Dovo model so next time you find a deal please ask a day earlyer

Ok, thank you much. I had a bad feeling right after placing the order, ha. Hopefully Excalibur has a forgiving return policy. Again, thank you sir.

my guess is that it hasnt been shipped yet so its not really a return

Oh and im advising against this out of instinct not actual knowledge about the item in question

Agreed, I'll shoot them an email And call them when they open.
