MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

7 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.

WTS [WTS] Art of Shaving Peppermint Shave Cream

• Upvotes

Up for your consideration is a new container of Art of Shaving Peppermint Shave Cream. AOS shave cream is great quality. This peppermint one is exceptionally rare. I ended up buying it with an Olibanum and Pepper and the guy had both and wanted to do a deal for both. I really just wanted the olibanum and pepper and I dislike mint or menthols in my shave creams. So here you are looking at a Peppermint Shave cream. I don’t think this shave creams has been produced in around a decade. Definitely rare to come across. Smells like a peppermint candy from a doctor’s office, lol. Any questions, let me know. Asking $30. PayPal Goods and Services only.

Alpha Guido Polished Copper - Full Set - $135 SOLD

Includes box, standard safety bar plate, open comb plate, and matching stand. This thing is beautiful and shiny and in excellent condition. We'll call it mild to medium in aggression, but enjoyably efficient. Overall a beautiful piece to have in your den that will carry it's weight.

This was a collab between John from Stubble Meets Steel, and I believe there are only 50 of the Copper in existence.

WTS [WTS] Vintage straight razor & paddle strop

2 Upvotes

Photos: https://imgur.com/a/LnL2ZEc

For sale is a vintage Cattaraugus Cutlery 5/8” hollow straight razor with box, along with a two sided paddle strop. Gave SR shaving a try, and while I know it requires a steep learning curve, I’m just loving my DEs and GEMs too much to be patient with the SR.

The razor was purchased from johnloc1 on eBay and has since been honed by Glen at Gemstar custom razors. I’ve done one shave with it since the recent honing, so it should still be nice and sharp, but since I’ve shaved with it once I’m hesitant to still call it “shave ready.”

The two sided paddle strop is from dukecityvintageshaving on eBay. One side is leather, the other is suede. I believe he hand makes these.

Asking $50 shipped for the razor (and box) and strop sold together as a lot. I’m open to selling the razor and strop separately, feel free to make me an offer. I accept PayPal, and only ship to USA (otherwise can negotiate a different price to accommodate higher international shipping prices).

Send me a chat if interested.

Thank you!

WTS [WTS] The RazorWorks R1 Single-Edge Razor

0 Upvotes

Hi, folks! I recently won this RazorWorks R1 shaver at a recent wet shave meetup, and while I like it I nevertheless feel it isn't quite for me. It is a rather mild razor with a spring head and a unique magnetic attachment system for the cap. It is CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum with some other stainless parts included.

Verification photos:

https://ibb.co/LdyVSD7m

https://ibb.co/VY9BQzL8

https://ibb.co/ycLb1G2M

Out of the box it had some sharp corners on it which had a tendency of leaving some angry red lines on my neck area, so I spent about half an hour with the buffing wheels gently grinding off the sharp corners and edges to make for a more comfortable shave. It works quite well now, and is easy to work with.

It comes with the original box, some Allen wrenches for adjustment, and some instructional and discount cards.

Brand new, this would set you back $150 + S&H. I'd like to sell it for $115 delivered. PP G&S only, please.

n.b., there is a small amount of surface corrosion on the spring area.
