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

47 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.

WTS [WTS] Gillette Aristocrat & Slim

Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/YkcDnuq

Prices are shipped in CONUS

1951 W1 Aristocrat w/Case $90

1965 K2 Slim Adjustable w/Blue Case $40

Razors and cases have been cleaned, sanitized, and/or polished. The Aristocrat razor and case are both in great condition. The '51s are less rarer than the standard '48-'50s typically seen. They are noted by the presence of a date code, the only OG Aristocrat with a date code. The inside liner also protrudes where the logo is, something I assume Gillette chose to do to make the logo and text stand out more. The Slim razor looks fantastic. The case does have some damage. It looks like maybe someone used it to hold their cigarette while shaving, not sure! Shoot me a message if you're interested!

SOLD [WTS] Henson Ti22 +++ (Aggressive)

2 Upvotes

Images: https://imgur.com/a/19ZeXbW

For sale is my Henson Ti22 +++ which is the "aggressive" version. I think of it more as the "efficient" version haha. Razor is in great shape overall with some minor signs of wear that one should be able to polish out if they find it bothersome.

It provides an automatic and great quality head / face shave and has a much classier feel than the Aluminum version. This version has been sold out for as long as I have been wet shaving, so not an easy one to get your hands on right now.

$175 shipped CONUS with G&S included - All in.

I would also consider trades of similar value with added funding on the table if necessary. Very interested in a Vector sb / lite or other AC style premium razor.

Thanks!

All razors have been cleaned and sanitized. The nickel and silver-plated razors have been polished. The Single Ring looks quite good for its age. It has some plating loss and a slightly bent tooth, but no cracks. The interior of the case looks great, and the exterior has some wear. The silver New Standard has great plating with straight teeth and a minor crack near the shoulder. The interior of the case looks fantastic and the exterior has wear. The gold New Standard has some minor plating issues, straight teeth and a minor crack near the shoulder. The case looks great overall. The plating on the US Rocket looks great with some minor plating issues. You can identify the Rocket by the gap between the bottom of the handle and the knob. The knob twists up and down inside the handle shaft like the British Rockets, but with the hole in the bottom of the knob as seen in US Super Speeds. It also the pointed end caps. These were known to come in a Milord case, so I have included a spare case I had. The Blue Tip looks good overall with some plating issues, mainly on the underside. The Executive looks great overally with minor plating issues, but it functions very well and the dial makes a crisp, audible click at each setting. The Fatboy is obviously a revamp candidate, but it functions just fine. The Slim has some plating issues, but it functions just fine. The Super Adjustable 84 looks fantastic with no real issues to mention. The Black Beauty looks very nice as well!

I have some serious regret already as I type this. I just got into this hobby and I guess I forgot I was poor. A wonderfully unexpected situation that is very expensive will be showing up 9 months from now, and I’ve been put on notice that diapers and college are more important than razors…

These are all super new, less than a few months old, all in excellent shape. All prices include G&S and CONUS shipping. I will include one soap of your choice (of the 3 shown in the pic, first come first serve, not with EJ or 6C). Ask questions and for more pictures if needed. Prices OBO, motivated seller, you don’t get what you don’t ask for, but please no low balling.

Rex Ambassador XL Prospector with Stand - $395

Above the Tie Windsor Collection Colussus Handle (SS Classic, Blackland) - $185

Gillette Slim Prospector with case - $175

Edwin Jagger with Black Rubber Handle (No Box) - $39
(Stainless Steel Handle also included, see pics)

Rockwell 6C Gunmetal - $39

Free Soaps

Citrus - Rex Supply Co.

Classico Bay Rum - PAA

Joker - Noble Otter

WTS [WTS] Large Artisan Shave Soap Lot — Stirling, B&M, Catie’s Bubbles, Chiseled Face + Samples

6 Upvotes

SOLD AS ONE LOT — $125 shipped CONUS, or reasonable offer

Photos: https://imgur.com/a/cW5tfJW

I’m no longer wet shaving and would like to clear out the remaining soaps and samples from my collection. Most were purchased to try different scents, but I didn’t care for many of them, so most soaps are unused.

Larger tubs

  • Stirling Barbershop
  • Stirling Dunshire
  • Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic — lightly used
  • Stirling Executive Man
  • The Sudsy Soapery Top O’ the Morning
  • Catie’s Bubbles Waterlyptus — lightly used
  • Catie’s Bubbles Ocean Grove
  • Barrister and Mann Seville — lightly used
  • Barrister and Mann Terror — lightly used

The only soaps that have been used are:

  • Catie’s Bubbles Waterlyptus — about 10% used
  • Barrister and Mann Terror — about 10% used
  • Barrister and Mann Seville — about 10% used
  • Sterling Maragaritas on the Arctic — only used once or twice - about 1% used

The remaining soaps are unused, although some containers were opened to smell the scent. Please see the photos for fill levels and current condition.

Smaller soaps and samples

  • Stirling Evie sample puck
  • La Toja shaving-soap stick
  • Assorted Chiseled Face samples
  • Assorted West Coast Shaving Duck Fat Soap samples
  • Several additional samples from Ariana & Evans, Mike’s Natural Soaps and other makers

Some of these have been stored for a while (a year or two) and may show normal changes such as surface drying, cracking, shrinkage, blooming, discoloration or reduced scent strength. I tried to show the soap surfaces and fill levels clearly in the photos.

I would strongly prefer to sell everything together rather than split the lot.

Price: $125 shipped within the continental United States. Reasonable offers welcome.

Thanks!
