Ralf Aust are great. I would order one any time I could find one! I have the 6/8 Spanish point. I know ther is a 7/8 spanish point with acrylic scales triple pin. I want that one!..
I found the ralf Aust web site but the order page is in German. One day I'll give a phone call a try and see how well they speak English enough to understand me because I don't know German.
Yeah I like my Ralf Aust- My firstr razor by the way. That's funny I sound like I'm old hat at this. I've only been SR shaving for 2 months. Now I have 5 razors and another one coming tomorrow!!! I think I have a problem:o
To bcw: I'm 65 and use one everyday. As long as you have one good hand and the vision is still ok, you might want to give it a try. I'd suggest a Feather like setup with a ProGuard blade to start. That way if you don't like it you can sell it easily. You won't have to worry about the hones and the strops and the 7 day sets until you've tried.
Attachment 144421 thats just beautiful... I can't wait for tomorrow when I should have enough stubble again to shave with it ^.^
Edit: and yes, I realize it looks a little yellowish, that's my hand reflected a little. I am not a genius with a camera -.-'

I just purchased my first straight razor from SRD, a Ralf Aust 5/8 which came in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to get started!
Nice razor.
A Ralf Aust will be my next razor to purchase (after a Wacker i'll order next week).
They look like (Ralf Aust) good and well made whit many good reviews.
