Thread: New Revisor arrived today :)

Revisors are generally good razors, the ones I received where all near shave ready but not quite there, took a little bit of tuning, enjoy yours!

I WAS gonna say: "Yeah, what MVCrash said, give it a few laps, strop it and see what happens." then I thought I'd better check and read the whole thread, glad I did as I see you've already used it :-)

BTW, could anyone receive a new Revisor and promptly pop it in bubble wrap, seal the envelope and wave it goodbye at the post office? Getting new razors for me is like having a new child. Well, my wife having it and me idly looking on...How could one give up their new child?


PS I got a NOS Revisor lately and THAT was shave ready too after a strop (2x(30/70)). I wouldn't have expected it.

The CF Schmidt razors that Revisor has rebranded are awesome shavers but it always pays to check a new razor thoroughly. You may have no warranty the moment you wet it or hone it

The extra weight was really nice also. I think I had more control. This could become my favorite razor. I can see why so many like the larger blades.

Congats!!!!! Glad you had a nice shave. 6/8 is a nice size blade to shave with. After using one for a while, the 5/8 razors will feel like sports cars.
