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.

WTS [WTS] Den Clearing - Hardware rarities

1 Upvotes

Doing some den clearing this week and putting a handful of hardware rarities up for grabs β€” pieces I've collected, admired, and in some cases never even gotten around to using. First up is a genuinely stunning water buffalo horn brush that's been sitting untouched in its box. Details below:

Selling a gorgeous matched set from Plisson β€” the rosewood grain on these two pieces is genuinely stunning, with that deep reddish-amber color

Plisson "Pur Blaireau" Size 14 White Badger Brush. Rosewood handle. White/silvertip badger knot, full and dense with excellent backbone β€” plenty of loft left, no bald spots or shedding issues. Matching Rosewood & Palladium Open Comb Safety Razor

Condition: Both pieces are in excellent used condition β€” light handling wear only, no chips, cracks, or damage to the rosewood on either piece.

Price: $300 shipped CONUS (PayPal G&S).

Custom Amboyna Burl 28mm Silvertip Badger Brush + Matching Amboyna Burl Safety Razor (Edwin Jagger DE Head) β€” $150 shipped

Selling a beautiful custom-turned matched set in Amboyna burl β€” the grain on this wood is exceptional, with that deep amber-to-cinnamon color and dense swirling burl figure that really pops under light.

Custom Amboyna Burl 28mm Silvertip Badger Brush. Matching Amboyna Burl Safety Razor (Edwin Jagger DE Head)

Condition: Both pieces are in excellent condition β€” light handling wear only, no damage to the burl wood on either piece.

Price: $150 shipped CONUS (PayPal G&S). Tracked shipping included.

Authentic Water Buffalo Horn Shaving Brush β€” Red/Brown Marble, 24mm Silvertip Badger β€” NEVER USED, Original Box β€” $125 shipped

Selling a genuinely gorgeous handmade shaving brush I've never actually used β€” bought it, admired it, and it's been sitting in its original box since. Time to let someone else enjoy it.

Price: $125 shipped CONUS (PayPal G&S)

SOLD [WTS] Tatara Masamune / Masamune Nodachi / Stand, Yaqi Remus

3 Upvotes

Images: https://imgur.com/a/XeLRVTZ

Prices include CONUS shipping and G&S fees as needed...

  1. Tatara Masamune SS Dark (complete), Tatara Masamune Nodachi SS Dark (complete) and Tatara Stand - $200 **SOLD*\*
    • Masamune well worn but completely functional, Nodachi in very good to excellent condition, some signs of finish wear on the stand surfaces. Only used a few times myself, I'm more into the silver finish and didn't love either enough to justify a permanent spot in the rotation. See images for detailed condition and wear patterns.
    • Covers all closed comb plate combinations to tailor shaves to your liking, cool feature of having both.
    • Have a Tatara shipping box, but cork packaging is not included.
    • Prefer to sell as lot but may be willing to split. Individual prices will increase a bit to offset the extra shipping and such.
  2. Yaqi Remus (SS, AC format) with ~10-12 Feather Pro Blades - $50 **SOLD*\*
    • Excellent condition, essentially a Blackland Vector Clone but decidedly more mild. Fits all the blades I've tried (had issues with Kai Guarded in the Vector), and provides a smooth safe shave, very nimble.
    • Includes Yaqi box.

I may be interested in working out some ort of trade(s) involving Karve razors (Bison, Overlander, CB maybe), Blackland (Vector Ti, Osprey), Alpha Spirit, La Faulx, Amakuni / Muramasa, Apex SS, Rex Ambassador, Henson Ti, Nord Freyja, Lambda Athena, or something along the lines of these.

Thanks!

This weeks purge will include the following, as always price includes CONUS shipping and G&S fees should you wish to use it. All include the original boxes as pictured...

  • Above the Tie Windsor SS, Regular Plate - $95 **SOLD*\*
    • This thing is a beauty, study, and shaves like a dream. Super smooth with great clamping and a mild to medium demeanor with just enough blade feel. Only moving as I'll be adding the Ti version, excellent condition.
  • Aylsworth Apex AL, Black / Blue - $55 **SOLD*\*
    • Great semi-fixed angle shaver, think Henson with a bit more flexibility and you can tell when the blade is engaged. Smexy in the Black / Blue combo, original owner only used 4 - 5 times, near flawless.
  • Henson Al13 ++ (Medium), Copper - $55 **SOLD*\*
    • Classic safe razor with a little extra bite compared to the mild (+), shaves awesome but had to settle on one version and decided the mild works best for my application. Original owner, only used 2 - 3 times, near flawless.

Take the lot of all 3 for a cool $175.

As always let me know if you have questions or need further images...

Feather AC SS hinged shavette $75. Mint condition. I shaved with it 19 times. At no extra cost I will throw in a partially used cartridge of Feather Pro Guard Blades (I estimate it has 12 or 13 blades in it), and a partially used cartridge of Feather Soft Guard Blades (I estimate it has 8 or 9 blades in it because in addition to shaving with the blades, I wasted a few learning how to load them into the shavette).

The shavette is stainless steel, with a black plastic handle. I have the original box and original enclosed instructions.

$75, including shipping by USPS ground to CONUS only, and PayPal Goods & Services. You pay only $75, I cover all other costs.
