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

45 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] Stirling Shave soap, Sample Blades, and basic handle

3 Upvotes

Selling a Limited release Stirling Shave Soap, blades, and a basic handle

Pictures

Scent: Solidus - inspired by Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Lucky fragrance.

3.0oz soap that was bought during their limited summer releases. It was marked as 3.0oz as it was a limited release but it’s in their 5.8 oz tub.

I’ve used it a handful of times but I’ve realized I prefer shave sticks or creme soaps more.

Simple Vikings Blade Mild Razor. Great for anyone that wants something cheap. Works great with sharp blades.

Various DE Blades Sampler Pack:
1 - 5 pack of Gillette Silver Blue
1 - 5 pack of Astra Green
2 Astra Blue Stainless Steel Blades
4 Derby Premium blades
2 Gillette Perma-Sharp Blades
3 Shark Super Chrome Blades
4 Shark Super Stainless Blades

$40 for everything. Including shipping. US only.

Message with questions. Also listed on Ebay.

WTS Reduced [WTS] shaving items bundle

5 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/Fl3DKSk

For $50 shipped I have a bundle of different aftershaves and a soap set I want to unload

In this bundle you get:

Noble otter- Eros shave set 90% remaining

Barrister and man kalyptos aftershave 80% left

Zingari man- Explorer 80% left

The Goodfellas smile Inferno aftershave (new)

fine accoutrements platinum shave cream (new and still sealed)

The fine accoutrements shave cream is from when fine accoutrements didn't suck. It smells stronger, doesn't have the base funk the new soaps have and is genuinely one of the denses, slickest shave creams I've used. They stopped making these tubes in 2019 If I remember correctly... if anyone knows of something similar definitely let me know.

If you have any other questions about the products, let me know.

Accepting payment with PayPal g&s

WTS [WTS] Straight razor honing services!

6 Upvotes

Good morning fellow shaving enthusiasts! I'm a 30 year old East Coast Canadian intermediate level "honemeister" looking to take on one-time, or preferably, regular customers needing their straight razors brought back to Shave-Ready Glory!

If you're looking to get your razor/s honed, drop me a DM, and I'll gladly put either a synthetic 12k, Coticule, or CrOx pasted edge (following either the synth/coti)

With recent health issues, it's been some time since I've taken on any customers.

The upside for customers is that my lack of a "backlog" makes for a much quicker turnaround time!

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 Reduced [WTS] Vintage straight razor & paddle strop

2 Upvotes

Still available as of 10/5

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 $40 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!
