I'm bidding on one on ebay. I like the way it looks, and I've seen them in people's collections on this site. Anybody got something to say about them? Opinions? Advice?

Joe, I've seen revisors on the Shaving Shop website and I think they're absolutely gorgeous. Plus, they will be delivered shave-ready by John Crowley. I'm still contemplating a purchase. Their heritage and craftmanship seem second to none. Check them out: http://www.shavingshop.com/index.php...6category%3D31

I'm sooo tempted. It's like waving a big steak in front of a hungry lion.
I understand they're excellent razors, in answer to the question. Though I don't own one.
...errr... yet.
When's that next 12 step meeting?
I have one and they shave with the best of them.
I will own one by the end of the month. I want to buy two, but I can't decide what the second will be...a Bartmann or a Wacken 6/8 Spike. Both are gorgeous. I got to talk to John Crowley on the phone. Seems like a helluva nice guy, and he's got the razors I've really been looking for. I'd probably trade half a dozen of my razors for a Revisor, Bartmann, or Dorko.

John is a great guy to deal with. You will love any of the Revisors (and most other razors on John's site too <g>).

I don't know if I could shave with some of Johns razors . . . most I would just hang on the wall and say "You wanna see some real art?"
Yep. He's got revisors, Bartmanns, Friodurs, and some others I didn't even know I wanted until I saw 'em. I think I've decided my second one's going to be the 6/8 Wacker spike. Love the handles on that one. Okay, maybe the Bartmann High Class... :shrug: :thinking:
Joe,
I purchased one of the C.Frider Schmidt Revisors in 5/8's from John. It's a great shaver and I'll second what Has said, John is first class to do business with. Im going to order a second Revisor in 6/8 and a Dorko 7/8 from him tomorrow. Enjoy your new razor, Im sure you will love it. The Bartmann look's sweet.
As some of you know, I restored a badly pitted Revisor some time ago and it is a super good shaver.

Great job!!! :)
Well, I've got my first Revisor on the way. It's a 5/8" C. Freidrich Schmidt one, with pretty marbled celluloid handles (NOS, unused). $71 shipped off fleabay. Unfortuntately, I also won:
2 Wade & Butchers (5/8 that's going to need some TLC, and an 8/8 meat chopper in good condition)
1 near mint Globeman
1 Swedish brand (looked good, Ran-Tan-Ka-Rus Red Devil, I think)
1 Morley (5/8" looks like)
Collecting and using these damn things is worse than drugs.:D More expensive, too.
