    Default Bismark on craigslist

    Hi all,

    Back home for a bit and was looking around craigslist and stumbled apon this razor, it just says its an antique bismark razor for $20. Looks old, but have any of you seen one like this before. Would it be worth a short drive to get it? Thanks

    Not a very good picture, but yes. $20 is a good price for a vintage Bismarck.

    Bismarcks are great razors.

    "Cheap Tools Is Misplaced Economy. Always buy the best and highest grade of razors, hones and strops. Then you are prepared to do the best work."

    Default Looking to learn about my Bismarck

    I just bought a vintage Dovo Bismarck on ebay. Wondering if anyone knows what the description means.
    It says: "Up for auction is a vintage DOVO Straight Razor from the Wilhelm Drache era.

    The blade is 9/16" (little bigger than 4/8")
    and marked "26", "WILH. DRACHE", "ESSEN-WEST" on one side,
    and "DOVO REGD" on the other."

    Does any of this age this blade?
    Does it mean anything to any of you that it wouldnt to me?
    Thanks,
    Trent
