New to B&B, not to straights

[holeHeartless]

Good day all,
I’m not going to lie, I’m trying to farm some posts so I can weed my straight collection. I joined SRP 15 years ago when I was single and had lots of time to shave like a gent. Now with two kids and a million projects it just isn’t in the cards. I’m going to keep my favorite, a vintage mint condition DePews monkey tail with the original scales including pewter spacer from 1882 🥹. (If you want more pics, PM me!)

I bought a few really beautiful razors on SRP between 2008 and 2014. Much as it pains me to sell them, it pains me more to have to pay a membership fee to do so which is why I’m here. Looking forward to chatting about straights and eventually selling some. May even accept a trade for a safety razor for my wife! See you all around.

Neal

Welcome aboard @holeHeartless. Looking forward to when you can sell a few of your unwanted SRs. Always some willing buyers on B&B if the price is right.

I hope you don't restrict your sales to CONUS only like many do because they couldn't be bothered to ship internationally from the USA.

Trading a safety razor for your wife? Is she vintage or recent production?

Hahaha touche, sir! She's not brave enough to try the straights but is interested in something more self sustaining than disposables. Since I collect antiques and already have an old safety blade stropper, I convinced her to try a safety razor.

Wow, what a welcome! Thanks everyone for the warm (and humorous) welcome as well as the good direction. @Legion I'll definitely check out the guidelines section though I'm a bit worried about the Straight of the Day @silverlifter ....already, I'm suppressing thoughts and temptation: "Hmm,Japanese half hallow? I haven't tried a Japanese razor yet...". Son of a-

Hello sir,

Cheers!
