MOD New Sub Rule Proposal

9 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] Vintage Wet Shaving Estate Lot: 1930s Art Deco Metal/Cedar Valet Box, 1912 Ever-Ready Gold SE, 1940s "HIS" Bakelite Soap Bowl, Vintage Curved Hone, & Modern DE Kit

0 Upvotes

Looking to sell this beautiful, multi-generational heirloom wet shaving estate lot. This collection spans nearly a century of grooming history, transitioning from premium 1910s–1940s traditional gear to a retro late-20th-century setup. Perfect for a collector, historical shaver, or a stunning den display.

Please use the following link to see photos:

https://imgur.com/a/TuCkMcw

📦 WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE LOT:

1. The Heirloom Vanity Station (c. 1930s)

• Art Deco Metal-Clad Cedar Chest: A stunning 1930s mixed-metal-framed valet box. Features its original glass-top lid protecting a beautiful, intact sepia-toned floral lithograph print.

• Interior & Hardware: Features its original unpainted, aromatic cedar wood lining and an intact, built-in rectangular vanity mirror framed inside the lid. Equipped with an authentic brass "Pat. Pend." stamped flush-mount locking clasp mechanism (no key included).

2. The Golden Era Antique Set (c. 1912–1940s)

• 1912-Patent Ever-Ready Single Edge Safety Razor: Ornate, gold-tone geometric handle. This is the iconic "lather catcher" design built by the American Safety Razor Corp in Brooklyn, NY. Mechanically sound with excellent door tension.

• Ever-Ready "Radio Steel" Blade box: Original vintage cardboard box labeled "Six Radio Steel Safety Razor Blades" (stamped with the classic 29-cent price mark). Includes original paper instruction inserts and several cardboard blade sleeves. No actual blades.

• Ever-Ready Razor Blade Storage Bank: Original vintage chrome-plated spring-tensioned "Blades" metal storage bank/dispenser. No spring.

• 1930s Opal Shaving Brush: Vintage dual-toned handle featuring a Catalin resin top and a "Sterilized / Set in Rubber" stamped French Ivory celluloid base.

• Vintage Concave Razor Blade Hone: A rare, matching cherry-red curved sharpening stone. Used historically with a drop of water or lather to hone and extend the life of single-edge blades. Peeling on bottom, but no chips or cracks.

• 1940s "HIS" Shaving Soap Bowl: Molded white Bakelite/early plastic octagonal bowl with a heavy-knobbed lid, manufactured by The House for Men, Inc. (Chicago/New York). Includes the original, dehydrated shaving soap inside!

• Apothecary Antiseptic Bottle: Small, vintage amber glass Abbott Laboratories "Halazone" bottle. Tablets are included strictly for historical display purposes only—not for consumption.

3. The Retro Daily Driver Set (c. 1970s–1980s)

• Chrome Shaving Stand: Heavy, polished chrome dual-ended countertop stand.

• Double Edge (DE) Razor: Modern chrome safety razor with a deeply knurled handle. No blades.

• Badger-Style Brush: Chrome-capped shaving brush matching the stand.

• Stainless Lather Bowl: Mirror-finish stainless steel shaving soap bowl.

🔍 CONDITION DETAILS:

• The Box: The glass, lithograph print, and internal mirror are in incredible shape for their age. The metal frame has a heavy, authentic dark patina and minor surface oxidation. The interior cedar wood has expected tarnish and staining from housing wet shaving gear over the decades.

• The Hardware: The 1912 Ever-Ready razor and blade bank have standard vintage tarnish but function beautifully. The red blade hone is smooth and free of structural damage. The "HIS" Bakelite bowl is clean. Threaded ring around the lid is partially broken.

Items have been left in original, uncleaned estate condition to preserve their historic patina.

💰 PRICE & SHIPPING:

• Price: $150 for the entire bundle

• Payment: Safely via PayPal Goods & Services (I will cover the PayPal transaction fees).

• Shipping: Will ship securely packaged via USPS with tracking. Please comment here before sending a PM/Chat.

Thanks for looking!

WTS [WTS] Shaving Soap Caddy

2 Upvotes

Hello, Fellow Wet Shavers. If you are anything like me, you have way tooooo many shaving soaps. I needed a way to organize my soaps in an accessible and visible way. I couldn't locate a solution so I decided to make my own. I feel like it is an item that many wet shavers will find useful especially if you have multiple soaps. The holder can carry many of your soaps from the most popular brands such as Stirling, A&E, Hendrix, and Noble Otter, Phoenix, Zingari, and Barrister. The 5th slot is slightly larger to accommodate a larger container such as a Fine Accoutrements shave soap. I also created a vertical version which allows for 6 soaps with one of the 6 being stacked on top. See photos. Cheers and Happy Shaves, Gents! Asking $28 shipped. PayPal goods and services, please.

P.S. if you wanted me to make a different color, I can!

For sale is a small software lot for $50 PP FF/ $52 PPGS shipped CONUS only. I recently purchased all new. More den clearing.

- PAA “Ciderhouse 5” soap and splash set.. My favorite fall scent but unfortunately for me my sensitive skin can barely not handle. Soap scooped 1x. Splash brand new with box & PAA internal seal.

- Macduffs “Autumn Cabin” shave soap - scooped 1x. The OG Cabin scent that started their Cabin series.

Samples from Maggard’s:
- Castle Forbes “Lime” shave cream 1x remain.
- Castle Forbes “Lime” Aftershave balm - new
- Castle Forbes “Lavender” Shave Cream - 1x scooped
- House of Mammoth - “Alive” shave Soap - new

If you haven’t tried Macduffs and Castle Forbes - Top tier performance in my opinion. Castle Forbes is Best performing shave cream I’ve tried(yes they are expensive but try before you buy full-size)

Mark your calendars: a Seaforth quadruple drop is happening this Thursday October 22nd at 10amET, at goseaforth.com.

. The impeccably clean scent of Fleur de France is BACK.

Reformulated with Shawn Maher and Benjamin Esposito to stay true to the FdF you love, this beautiful scent brings French lavender, Calabrian bergamot, and genuine oakmoss absolute into a smoother, deeper, and more radiant expression of 1960s French barbershop elegance.

. We're also introducing Unscented, for fantastic Seaforth performance with no fragrance added.

. Our brand new cupuaçu aftershave balm debuts with Fleur de France/Unscented dual release. Soft and smooth, this easily absorbed aftershave is perfect for those who want to take better care of their shaven skin. Formulated by the amazing Vida of /u/chicagogroomingco . We're talking smooth and hydrating, without being greasy or oily - you're going to love it.

. Finally, we’ll have Fleur de France in a 7.5ml aftershave sample/travel size.

NOTE: We hope to roll out aftershave balms and 7.5ml aftershaves for the full line soon.

We'll see you Thursday!
