What to Avoid When Purchasing a Vintage Razor
The top things to avoid:
-
Rust: If you see rust, there’s a good chance it will cost you a pretty penny to get right.
-
Cracks in the blade/chips (straight razors0
-
Brassing ( plating loss)
-
In operable functions (such as Twist to Open)
-
Bent/Missing pieces
-
Excessive hone wear ( straight razors)
