I bought a 4/8 Hugo Koller wedge from him (great service as others have stated) and it was very close to what I would call shave ready; just a few trips on the pasted paddle and off we go.

Just picked up another 8/8 Weyersberg and a 7/8 Friodur (Original ivory celluloid handles with "Twins" and "Friodur" inlaid in silver in the handle ) from him. Also bought a Fritz Bracht Dovo 6/8 Stainless from him as well. I do believe he's my favorite seller. I've certainly spent more money with him than anyone else. lol Now...I gotta get a Maestro.

Probably not that sharp, no, but I've found his listing is pretty accurate and that nothing I got required more than a few strokes on a pasted strop to get fully shave ready.

I wonder where MANYWARE gets all these razors from???? He lists a few mint items every week. Don't get it... does he have a tree or something where these nice german pieces grow on

Are his razors really shave ready? He mentions that in his listings.

Manyware is the devil - every time I decide I have enough razors he comes up with another one or four that I want.

I've never tried to shave with one right out of the package but several of them felt mighty sharp on a thumb test. Some of his I buy for collecting and keep brand new but those l have shaved with honed up readily with no nicks, bad geometry, corrosion, or stale metal on the edge.

Bump for willist's sake.

Spooky, I didn't see this thread before.

I bought this 8/8 Weyersberg 6000 Electric from Joe after he cleaned/honed it up and put new scales on it, mainly just as it was an 8/8 and looked nice.

But I was pleasantly surprised to find it was the best shaving razor I've tried to date. I'm not sure if it's the steel or Joe's honing, but this is an awesome shaver.

Highly recommended.
