The eclipse red ring

[Ferret619]

As the Parker is returning to its owner @Mark1966 soon I thought it might be nice to keep the pass around going.

Any of you gents interested in trying the Red Ring?

 

[Ferret619]

It will be the same basic rules,
I’ll post it out to the first person.
They can keep it for a week then they pass it on to the next person a their cost.

It’s a razor that has had an interesting history, especially price wise in years past.

It will be payable on all imports from today including low value (<$1,000) imports.

I'd be interested in trying that @Ferret619 .
How do they propose to collect GST on imports @Mark1966 ?

[SpeedyPC]

Sorry @Ferret619 no thank you, I'm out

 

[Ferret619]

No worries-
You can try my collection of razors Masonic some time.

Would love to give it a try.

Edit1: A mild shaver that can deal with several days growth and finds its own angle?

Ticks all the boxes I would say

Edit 2: why is it that once I hear about an intresting razor, I always find out it’s a rare or expensive purchase. Very thankful to @Ferret619 for the opportunity to try out

I’ll add you to the list

@lerenau @cactusjack @Pbgoose
And @Rami


This is a razor with a lot of sentimental value and is a user through n through.
I’ll add some other fun stuff to the box for you lot to try

 

[Rami]

If it has sentimental value, I think I will opt out.

Money comes and goes but a family piece or something can’t really be replaced.

Up to you but really it’s a user that should be experienced- I’m not worried

 

[Rami]

Fair enough. Still in then.
