Thread: Israel blades?

Sounds good. I'll keep reading through the wiki and working towards a good blade.

Plus, you need to find a mentor near you. Advantages is a good chance of meeting for a one on one session where he most likely will hone your razor free and give you more info than you can handle as your brain takes a week to absorb everything told you. I am fortunate, mine is a 55 minute drive from me and each meeting is a delight in info gained and hard lessons on eBay junk.

Israeli Personnas are very good DE blades. While not quite as lazer sharp as some, the edge lasts best, IMO.
Nothing wrong with a vintage razor with a good shaving edge. I prefer them, myself.
Just ask questions of the seller and be sure they know what they are doing.

Nice blades.

Solution: Get a vintage blade from Manah, a vendor in the classifieds located in Israel!

jasonrhoads, hi and welcome to SRP!
I've never seen or heard of a straight razor made in Israel. Jewish companies - yes, there were a great number in Europe before WWII. They made different types of straights.

I am relativly new to shaving, I picked up a Very Nice 1800's razor from a Rag and Bone store for (I think) $10 then spent a small amount of money getting it completely restored and honed from Stefan, For about $20 less then my Dovo Bismark I have an excellent shaving razor.

Aside from Shopping online, an option is to check Antique stores or Estate sales. You can usually find razors in good shape, then have someone here restore it for you. There are lots of articles on what to look for, and what to avoid when looking for razors.

Don't believe "Shave Ready" unless its from a reputible source.
