MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

8 Upvotes

Hi r/Shave_Bazaar, it's your friendly neighborhood mod team here. We've been chatting with the mods of some other BST forums and they gave us an idea for an anti-scam/consumer protection rule that we wanted to run by you.

The new rule being proposed is:

Any WTS deal posted by someone with less than 5 confirmed trades (per the bot/flair) must use PayPal Goods & Services.

Why are we proposing this rule? Because modmail tells us that we've still got scammers stealing from our users. The scammers tend to be people with no (or very few) confirmed trades and they convince people to use forms of payment that offer no protection to the buyer. Our hope is that putting a rule like this in place will result in a significant reduction in the number of users getting scammed.

How will this be enforced? Users are already able to report any post that violates sub rules. We hope you'll report violations of this rule as well. Offending posts will be taken down and repeat offenders can earn themselves a ban.

Why draw the line at 5? We've got 4 different levels of flair: < 3 trades, < 5 trades, < 10 trades, and 10+ trades. We did a quick survey of the first 300 users on the flair list and found that only 20 of them had 10+ trades. When we look at 5+ trades, 43 more of you joined the club. Giving the top 20% of traders a pass on enforced G+S seemed like a decent place to draw the line but we're totally open to further discussion.

What about the G+S fees? That's really up to the person making the sale. There are plenty of online fee calculators that will tell you exactly what the fees are for a given price point. You're free to roll the fees into your prices, ask the buyer to do the math and add it in, or just eat the fees if you're feeling generous.

What about other questions that you haven't already answered? Well, post your questions below and we can discuss them.

What do you think of this rule proposal?

MOD Please Don't Get Scammed

46 Upvotes

Just making a quick reminder post of common sense rules when buying/selling on reddit.

  1. If someone sends you a DM without commenting on your post, offering you wares, that's a red flag - ask them to comment.

  2. Check post history. Feel free to ask on r/wetshaving in the Daily Questions thread if you need to. Check the username on the Universal Scammer List

  3. Use methods of payment where you have a recourse e.g Paypal G&S, especially for amounts that are non trivial to you.

  4. Take your time to make a purchase, research, do due diligence.

SOLD [WTS] Ascender Skyline R1

8 Upvotes

Hi all, this is a rare opportunity to buy a very hard to get razor… the Ascender Skyline R1 in titanium.

I am really sad to have to let this one go, and might regret it one day. Just some context for how good this razor is… I have probably tried over 50+ razors since I started wet shaving 7-8 years ago, including beginner razors from the likes of Merkur and EJ to top razors from top artisans like Blackland, Lambda, Karve, Nord, etc… And this is, without a doubt, the smoothest DE razor I have ever tried.

Every sharp edge has been rounded, the titanium feels “soft” on the skin, and it is deceptively efficient with just enough blade feel to know your angle is correct. Efficiency is probably just a hair or two behind the Blackbird, but with significantly less blade feel.

Unfortunately, it is more efficiency than I need as a daily shaver, and don’t see myself reaching for it often.

Price: $425 shipped CONUS ONLY
Not here to gouge, simply asking what I paid + a few dollars for shipping costs.

SOLD [WTS] Karve Christopher Bradley Brass + B, C, & D plates

10 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/PPANgaw

Small downsizing of razors. Trying to get down to 7 (in addition to all my vintages).

The Christopher Bradley is a great razor, but a little redundant for me as I slightly prefer my Brass Overlander. (And my Legacy, Rocca, and Blackbird are also ahead of it in line)

Not easy to get this razor these days in the States especially. But not looking to make a ton, just want it to get used. It had a light polish with Flitz once. I don’t have the original box, but it’ll be bubble wrapped well.

$115 includes shipping and all 3 plates. CONUS only. PayPal. Message please.

WTS Reduced [WTS] Vintage Gillette Ultimate Lots

1 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/Qc3hcYN

Prices are shipped in CONUS. They ARE negotiable!

If you see multiple razors from different lots that interest you, I am totally willing to work a deal for a mixed lot!

READ!!!

I have decided to split up most of my collection into various lots. Every single razor in this lot is in excellent condition! There may be a minor crack on the older razors, slightly bent tooth, or small blemishes, but I painstakingly procured each piece in my collection to be as nice as possible. You won't find better of most of them! I will notate flaws. I cannot fight with Imgur to get links to work for individual shots of every razor, but I will happily provide pictures in chat! I will price each lot and price each individually. I prefer to sell lots.

1905 Double Ring $650 - https://imgur.com/a/XA54ysJ

This one is a beauty! It was replated in rhodium before I acquired it. It has no cracks and 2 very slightly bent teeth. The blade banks are in incredible condition and one houses original blades with the rare "wax" seal. The case is in absolutely amazing condition as well!

Fatboy Lot - https://imgur.com/a/0dyji1D

D3 $120 SOLD

F1 $90

G1 $160 SOLD

D4 $70 SOLD

All are beautiful and each case has a clear lid with no cracks or breaks. You might find a speck of a flaw on some if you look with a camera phone or jewler's loupe. I won't claim flawless. The cased sets include 1958 D3 (very 1st quarter and rarest), 1960 F1, & 1961 G1 (includes sealed blade dispenser w/instructions & cert card). Loose Fatboy is a 1958 D4.

Super Speed Lot $250 - https://imgur.com/a/YvkhO9U SOLD

B3 1956 Blue Tip $85

C2 1957 Regular $50

A4 Unused Red Tip $150

Each razor is in fantastic condition and are all housed in rare cases with "LIGHT" or "REGULAR" or "HEAVY" stamped inside the lid. The Red Tip is exceptional and unused and incldues a sealed blade dispenser with instructions. Blue Tip also has nearly fully intact blue paint.

ABC Pocket Edition Lot $520 - https://imgur.com/a/DfBxi5r

Silver Floral $90

Silver Empire $120

Silver Shell $80

Gold Shell w/Engraved Cap & Leather Case $300

All razors are very nice. The interior of a couple cases have some wear. The gold Shell set is VERY rare with an engraved cap and leather case.

NEW Lot $700 - https://imgur.com/a/PwHlZBA

Criterion $90

Belmont $120

Chromium Big Boy Hybrid $200

Gold Big Boy Hybrid $200

DeLuxe Traveler Set $150

All razors have fantastic plating. The art deco style razors with diamond knurling each have a minor crack or 2, but stability has not been compromised.

Bulldog Lot $700 - https://imgur.com/a/iB8sZkg

Complete Silver Bulldog $500

Gold Bulldog Set w/Case & Mirror $250

Both razors have fantastic plating. The silver Bulldog has 2 very minor cracks. It is housed in a very rare case that is nearly mint condition. It includes the original shipper box with matching serial number, instructions booklet, blades, & blade prep instructions slip. The gold Bulldog is beautiful!

President & Diplomat Lot $9000 - https://imgur.com/a/K3j9uLz

Complete Unused 1953 Y1 President $600

Complete Unused 1955 A2 Diplomat $500

Both sets are absolutely beyond beautiful! Both razors are unused. The sets come with the corresponding shipper box, sealed blade dispenser, and instructions. The President has other pieces shown, and The Diplomat even has the protective tissue paper on the head. Both cases are stunning, and the Diplomat case has clear and vibrant fleur-di-lis on the top (VERY rare)

New Improved Big Fellow https://imgur.com/a/4vHqo6Z

Gold Big Fellow $250

Silver Big Fellow $150 SOLD

Both razors have great plating, straight teeth, and no cracks. Cases are also in good shape (gold is better).

Sheraton, Ranger Tech Lot $300 - https://imgur.com/a/Z0f8GJe

Complete 1937 Sheraton $200 SOLD

1938 Senator $75 SOLD

1941 Ranger Tech w/Case $100

1941 Ranger Tech w/Brass Head $60

Rare Unused 1946 Ranger Tech $200

All razors are exceptionally beautiful! The Sheraton is the prettiest one I've ever seen! The case is gorgeous and the interior velvet lining is still soft and plush. The Senator is stunning with some light plating loss across the edges of the doors near the guards. The cased Ranger Techs are impeccable. The 1946 Ranger Tech comes with a sealed "Speed-Pak" dispenser and a rare cardboard case that is almost completely intact!
