Box of goodies
Today my son in law brought me a box he was given when he cleared an apartment in Antwerp , Belgium. It contained two Solingen razors ( Fischer 107 / Gebruder Becker in a Tuckmar case) - an alum block with holder - a sharpening device for double edge razor blades - a wrapped up honing stone .
The stone (200 x 45 x 20 mm) still carries the original (German) sticker .
I presume it might be a greenish Thuringian ? Not sure though ...
What do you guys think ?
Thanks

Awesome find. Hard to see the label but it looks like a Thuri to me. I love a Thuringian. Although it may not be my absolute favorite edge it is probably close to if not my absolute favorite to hone on. The feedback with the slurry is so satisfying.
-
What a great score. I agree with you about the hone. Hopefully Peter will be along soon enough. He knows those hones better than anyone.

Thank you all , yes I hope Hatzicho will shed some light on this. Pity I don't have the rubbing stone (on the sticker it states there is a rubbing stone included) . Strange thing is that no manufacturer is mentioned on the sticker. Only VDH (Verband Deutscher Hochschleiferei)
-
It seems Belgian. I looked up Verband Deutscher. Some interesting stuff having nothing to do with hones.
It surely looks like something I want~! ;)

No it is German. Dutch ( and Flemish which is spoken in the upper part of Belgium -where I live -) and German are both Germanic languages so there may be some confusion. The translation of 'Verband Deutscher Hohlschleiferei' should be something like 'Union of German Hollowgrinders'.
I cleaned the Fischer 11/16" razor . Removed the hardened oil using brake cleaner which worked very well . Took it trough a progression of 3M Trizact pads. (1000/3000/6000/8000) They did a wonderful job .Always amazed how good they work.
No sign of use , so maybe factory edge.
Will take the razor to the stones and finish on the VDH.
Pics show before and after

Looks like a Thuringer to me

The razor looks great! I need to check out those 3m pads.
Yes, Language searches often lead me astray. I landed on some verboten political party! :roflmao
-
Yeah that really does look good. I love those Trizact pads. I've never used higher than 5k but you can get a literal mirror finish with it.

Finished the second razor today (Gebruder Becker Solingen 6/8) - same progression as the Fischer. Took more care because of the goldwash . Pics before and after.Attachment 334654Attachment 334655Attachment 334656
