Thread: A Question About Whipped Dog

I think you made a point about gambling on ebay. There's the difference of a razor there for $20 and the same razor, at least same brand/style here for $60.
Here the listing is for a shave ready, in good working condition and cleaned up properly. Nothing hidden from a newbie to SR shaving.

I have no input on Whipped Dog, since I don't know him or have dealt with the company. To each their own.........

You can buy cleaned up razors on there for $60 as well. He also sells new razors. So basically, he sells what everyone else sells plus the cheaper options in question.

I Dont Knock Anybodies Business,, You Want To Spend $20.00 On A Razor Then Thats What You Get A $20.00 Shave Ready Razor,, Basically You Get What You Pay For,,,, Why Does B S T Charge $60.00 For The Same Razor!!!!!!! Just Cause We Can,, After You Been On Here A While You Just Get To Know The Folks & Are Glad To Support Them,, If There Was Something Wrong With Razor Seller Would Be More Than Willing To Help You Out,, Ty

Thanks for all the advice guys. Very helpful.

It Really Is Know Different Than Going To Buy A Car,, $600.00 Yep She Drives Allright Or $60,000 Yep She Really Drives Allright ,, Looks Good Too,, Or Kick The Tires And Go PSSHHHH And Down The Road Ya Go.... Decisions Decisions At The End Of The Day We All Have To Make Em,, But Hey Were All Here For Ya And Happy To Help You Out With Whatever Decision You Might Have!!!!!!!!!!Ty

I started out with a Whipped Dog razor and strop. For the price I would recommend him to anyone starting out as it got me into straight razor shaving for a reasonable price. The razor wasn't the best looking but shaved wonderfully and the strop got quite a few nicks in it as i worked on my stropping technique. I have moved on to different razors and strops but kept the razor and just recently gave it to a friend to use while I work on his razor as his was not shave ready when he bought it.

So you would take 600 wet/dry and clean that razor up in 5 minutes and then charge me $15-20 more?? That's about $180/hour. Where is YOUR motives at hirlau? Hahaha.

No thanks! I would rather get a beautiful shave ready razor and spend the 5 minutes on it myself. Thanks but no thanks.

TBH, I always go by the old used car man's adage;
'For every ass, there's a seat'

I know that a QUALITY razor, devoid of it's original geometry, will not hone and shave within a mile of it's performance in it's proper configuration. Much experience has taught me this.

Yeah...it will shave. For you, perhaps. Not necessarily for me.
If guys would spend 4 times as much to buy quality, a benefit of 100 times is to be reaped.
Truth, IMO
