    Default Did I waste my money?

    Can't resist the penny bids. I just wonder if I got my money's worth. Anybody know where this is made? Sounds Czech or Polish.

    I have never heard of that brand. which that alone would make me leery. Also there's usually a close correlation between price and quality. you generally get what you pay for.

    Yes, but you can use it to open the boxes that the other straights you buy come in

    My Bill ellis restoration CD says to never buy that brand. You won't ever get a shave ready edge or something to that effect.

    Yeah, that postage looks to be ~ $1.05 more than the small, priority mail flat rate boxes really are. In all, you spent ~$1.06 too much. Hopefully you'll recover.

    That's kind of what I figured. Is that a Pakistani blade? And I guess Selective is in that same usability category?

    In short, You got something for your money, I will guarentee you that

    However, When the P&H is more then the actual product's selling worth, it sorta implies that the product isn't exactly the best in regards to the quality

    But yeah, Like the man says, You Get What You Pay For
    I'm so bent, that only my Razors are Straight.

    I have one. I use it to open the boxes my other razors come in. No joke. I bought it just to see if Pakistan Made razors were as horrible as rumored. They are.

    Yes, I too can concur that they are not usable as a shaving tool.

    On the upside, you got a pair of scales for a penny.
