Thread: 8/8 NOS Dorko in pink ivory with matching silvertip

Have you shaved with it yet?

I had a go with my 8/8 Theunissen, which I suspect to actually be a Dorko, and the shave really was top-notch.

Perhaps I now know why Dorkos inspire such craziness on Ebay!

Questions!

1) Where does one obtain unset brush knots?

2) Where, oh where, do you find unrestored or NOS Dorko/Theunissen blades??
*hey, nevermind! Teach me to read posts more thoroughly... I'm browsing the NOS listings on shavingshop.com right now... AARGH THE LUST!


Thanks!

I just came across this little nugget of information http://straightrazorpalace.com/vendors-corner/36477-8-8-carbon-steel-dorko-300s-sale-shavingshop-com.html on the Vendor's forum....

What is that wedge/spacer made from?

Shaves like a Dorko. I have had a bunch of razors pass through my hands. I have never sold a Dorko and seek them out when looking for another blade. I also have several Heribert Wacker razors, never parted with one of them either.

The wedge, it is a wedge not a squared spacer, is made from purple heart wood. I have a jig of sorts that I have made for sanding the wedges to the proper shape on the disk sander. It does not take much angle to shape them.
