Any fellow dorko users out there?
There may be some in The Sophisticated Solingen's, but why not start up a separate group? They certainly deserve the recognition.
And the name of this club could be quite much fun...:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao
I am proud to proclaim myself a Dorko, after all I am an IT guy. This one is rosewood, I have another, same worked spine but a round point in olive, both are 7/8.
My contribution to the club:
Fellow Dorko's those are some very nice pictures. I will have to take a few of mine. Ray, the one you have has been the one that has driven me crazy chasing on ebay. I really liked the look but I guess so does everyone else. Cannonfodder and ockham those are real beauties too. Very special guys.
Is it just me or do the Dorko's shave the best. I don't have any thiers issard or dubl ducks but these Dorko's work the best as fart as I am concerned.
You guys are all dork(o)s :)

Here's a pair of Dorkos. The first is a rescale my son and I did in cocobola. It came in really crappy after market scales but the price was right. The second came w/ heavy tarnish so I scraficed the gold wash for a clean blade. I love the spine work on this one. Both are execellent shavers. Pics were taken by my son JrJoeD.
I was wondering when you'd be posting those, Joe. What beauties.
Holli,If there are any others that you saw that you think I should post let me know. There are a couple I still don't have pics of yet. Have to get Jr to work on that next time he comes over.
Hey haven't heard anything from the Dorko users in a while. These are my favorites.:rock:
I only wish I was a Dorko user.Can't seem to land one of these(or afford a new one).
Yep. I haven't read anything here on Dorko's for a while. I haven't come across any and they are far and few between on the Ebay. The tow I have are far into my rotation so it will be a while until I break them out again. Maybe I'll put them into a rotation around Easter.
There's a set of seven Dorkos on Ebay. Shall we bid on it together and split it?
Well I liked my Black 6/8 so much that after I sold my Polo 8 and a razor last month, I picked this one up. Don had it up on the Classifieds for a couple of months with no takers. Just so happened he dropped the price when my paypal balance was loaded. :)
It's a nice big NOS 8/8 with cracked ice scales. The thing is huge, as big as the SRP Livi. I'll take a better color photo when it comes back from honing at SRD.

i was going to suggest the same thing, group by and split it up
Vintage Dorko Solingen 7-Day Straight Razor Set in Box - eBay (item 350181800787 end time Mar-30-09 18:05:47 PDT)
I'd have to have the spine ground since I think it's ugly, and have "Big Red" engraved instead ;)

You lucky devil!!! I had my eye on that, and couldn't believe it was still up for grabs for SO LONG!!! I just couldn't pull the trigger. When I did go for it, it was gone!
ENJOY!!!
Hello Rich and Ray. Mine looks just like yours but is a 7/8". I got it at a local Antique Mall and after I honed it up it became my best shaver. I have some great shavers so that means something.

Looks like there are two Dorko clubs in the Razor Clubs...
Here are my two, which are also listed in the other club. Both exception shavers.
Funny I should see this, I got word today that a 7 day Dorko set is coming my way. I'll post pics when it arrives. Until then here's a couple of mine:
So bpave, you're the one that scored the Dorko 7 day set on EBAY! :bow What a score! :y Hope they are everything you expect and that you get a lifetime of satisfaction out of them. :tu :tu
I asked one of the questions that the seller posted, but in the end SWMBO made it clear that I didn't need them. I even told her if I could get those, I'd never need any more! Oh well, nice score. Can't wait to see them!
If D2 is the straight w/ the cocabola scales, my son and I did the re-scale last fall and thank you for your compliment. I only get to see my son every other weekend so the restoration work we do together and the feedback/compliments on our work together mean a lot to him and I.
Here's my new seven beauties. Very little cleaning up needed. The edges are all in great shape:

Looks like you have a very nice collection of straights going on.
Nice razor's and they are wonderful shaver's.
Nice set of Dorko's you got there Steel. Are those the NOS ones coming from a certain happy Italian? There's been some amazing ones coming from a source over there. I think the guy has a deal with the devil to keep those stocked.
Here my Dorko, 7/8.
Sorry for the poor pic once again ...
