The candy club

[Jazor]

Hi all,

Recently this Candidius straight razor came to my rotation and for my taste it is a real beauty.

It has many of the design features of a # 14, yet I can't add this straight razor to my "# 14" topic as the number is not engraved in the metal.

The blade is with 23 mm a 7/8 and the metal is carbon steel.

On various fora I have tried to find information on the Candidius brand and I was unable to find any apart from a topic in this forum pertaining a rescale of a Candidius where no information was given on the brand itself.

For this reason I started "The candy club" topic in the "Razor Clubs" sub forum as there are bound to be more Candidius owners I figured.

Have a look at the following pictures and please share any information you might have on this Solingen brand?

Kindest regards, Jazor.

Hello,

I'm from Holland and i bought two of these candidius razors.
I'm also thinking that they were made in solingen for Holland. And I'm also curious who produced them.
These razors are looking great and shave very well.

greetings Frank.

Hi Frank,

interesting info: it would be great if you would post pictures of your Candidius razors, so this topic starts to take off.

Questions:

1. What sizes in mm are your Candidius razors,

2. What shapes (spike, round point, other)?

3. How about the boxes that came with yours?

4. What makes you state that they were made for the Dutch market?


Very curious to see and read more info.

Kindest regards, Jazor.

Found an other 5/8 Candidius, it's different from the one I posted before. I will show you both razors, I think you will spot the differences.
