The Electric Razor (Solingen) 5/8

This one was pretty beaten (bought it since I drove to the seller that contacted me and since I was there I bought it anyways) , wasn't sure what's going to come out , scales are bloodwood, wedge white micarta, oil finish, "flowery" washers and inox torx screws, thank you for watching

Wow!

That's a gorgeous blade!

Needless to say I'm shocked seeing the razor in it's first state transformed into a excellent looking blade.

Bloodwood, first time I've seen it and I really like it...

Congrats!

Very nice!

Ray

Wow! Hard to believe that's the same blade. And good job on the scales, very elegant.

Cheers.

Very nice save! I agree with Phrank...fantastic job based on the beginning condition of this blade. Love the color of those scales!

OMG, WOW. Great job.

Luis

wow, glad you liked it :)... roxinho is nice but smells like puke until it "clears"

You now have the prototype PUMA. The Electric Razor Co was bought by the group that formed PUMA!
Top Quality steel that you saved!

@Geezer: thanks for this info, I didn't know that, did some search but nothing much about it, partially due to the name and "contamination" with the electric machine razors... do you have any more information about it?

Great work - very impressed that you were able to keep the markings on the tang so crisp...

GREAT compliments. Very nice job.
I've apreciated the entire work in your forum !!

Restoration of old razor 2 - step by step by Miha

Wow, what a transformation :dropjaw: Hard to believe that those two are the same razor.

Glad you liked it :). And checking/translating my forum, that's nice to see, really! I try to promote straight razors and connect people with these interests on a local level. That's why this resto step by step for people to see how it looks like, I didn't post it here since it's nothing special nor new, not to mention the level of my work compared to work of you guys :). The only thing i don't get hiw google translate translated my name (miha) to horatio :D !?

It should treat you well, Miha. Electrics were the brand made in the US by Friedmann & Lauterjung. I have a sad one to work on now, but a better specimen never leaves my rotation. The steel has been straight and seems to take edges without much effort. 'Hope yours treats you as well as mine does.
