    I always watch for a Russian razor for some reason. When I find them they are as sharp as a pencil and pointed like one too. Nice razors and love the work you did on them.

    Today next part of my retrospect work

    Another russian straight razor - in this case it's MOCШTAMП '39. J had never heard before about this factory.
    It was little bit more advanced restoration, because I had to improved the stamp on shank by varnish masking and eching with FeCL3.

    Please translate, for us, the names of the razors..they tell a lot about the culture they come from.

    MOCШTAMП means MOSSTAMP. It's linked with the factory placed (Moskwa). It is quite rare russian straight razor. I know that thay produced also satety razor with open comb because I saw one.

    Beautiful work. Makes me want to blow the budget, move to Poland and live next door to you so I can talk you out of those nice razors.

    How did you get the etching so crisp? I would really appreciate if you would pm me your process; it would be very very helpful.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
