Thread: Ralf Aust Razor Club

A late Christmas present to myself. I've had this a few days now. Upon receiving it, it was a very impressive razor. The finish on it is really outstanding. There are no clumsy spots. The horn is polished to a mirror finish, inside washers, and upper and lower jimps. I asked that it not be honed as I would prefer to do that myself. The factory edge was quite good, definitely shave ready. But I prefer my edges really polished. And this took a fantastic edge. The bevel was very consistent across the blade and it made great contact with the stone.Finally today I used it. Great shave, great edge. The edge was very fine but not the least bit harsh. It was not cheap but it delivered in quality.

Excellent razor ! Very beautiful and the best of two worlds IMHO. I have those horn scales and also Spanish point blade, but not together like yours, they're in different configurations. Nothing beats an Aust razor ! Enjoy

I have one very similar to yours. It is a great shaver. You will enjoy this blade.

So far so good. It honed up really nice and shaves just as nice. It's a great shaver. The due is really efficient and very smooth. No irritation and leaves nothing behind. Just finished my second shave with it and I'm still very impressed.
