Magnificent razors! The scales are elegantly mathched to the wonderfully large blades. Jealous!

I finally broke down and ordered one today...just a plain 5/8s but I am excited to test it out!
Sure enough, I was not disappointed! Very smooth shave, one of my best. The handles are nothing special, but what a blade:)

Just got my 6/8 French tip with horn scales. Didn't strop just shaved. It shaves as great as it looks. When Herr Aust says it is shave ready he isn't kidding. This is my second Aust 6/8 and I have a 5/8. For the money, there are no better. A picture of my 3 Austs. Attachment 207608Attachment 207606
I have 3 and they hold their edge as good if not better then any razor you will buy at any price.
May well be some of the best price point st8's there are on the market. I will certainly get another but may try a 7/8 size next. I really like a 6/8 but may see what the extra 8th can do.
Just got my 6/8 French tip from Germany and it is very shave ready. Didn't even strop.
