So, like a lot of us, I started out with(and continue to use) one of Whipped Dog's "Sight-Unseen" razors. Since it seems like this is a common enough occurrence, I thought it would be cool to share. I apologize if this thread already exists somewhere else.
For those who don't know, the proprietor of the company buys old but good razors, gives them a hone and cleans them, then sells them for a low enough price that new or budget-conscious shavers can easily afford to own one. They aren't buffed up or polished, just clean and functional, so don't be surprised to see some patina or the like. Please, no criticism or negative posts. Please specify if your razor was a Sight-Partially-Seen, Sight-Unseen, or a Flawed Sight-Unseen razor. I look forward to seeing what you've all got!
