Thread: # 14

Jazor

No info other than what is above - Brand is 'CUF,' one of many Solingen makers. If you find any info I'd be pleased to know.

Dear all,

On Ebay I came across this Palmera # 14 which I hadn't seen before:









Kindest regards, Jazor.

Dear all,

Here the latest arrival to my rotation: a Henckels Zwillingswerk # 14 in 8/8. Unrestored original condition.

As far as I can determine it has not had a hard life because it's almost factory tight on the pin and has little to no hone wear.











Kindest regards, Jazor.

Very nice!

Dear all,

This Henckels Zwillingswerk # 14 by "Guillermo Hoppe" has recently joined my other # 14's.

It is tight on the pin, shows no hone wear and seems to have had very little use in it's life.

The size is a full 8/8 and it came with it's original box which is also in very good shape.

Can't wait to try it out!















Kindest regards, Jazor.

Hi All,

Here is another #14. It's one from Bertrand Peyres. An unknown brand. I picked it up in relatively okay shape from Ebay.es for a few tens of euros and this was my first restore ever. It needed a slight chip removed, that's why the blade is flat and has lost its original Barber smile. Inexperience is what I put that under now. It needed a good polishing as there was some pitting. Unfortunately, I was not able to save the goldplated logo on the blade. It's still visible under the right angle, but could have been saved, had I had more experience. For me it was a "test-blade" to check my abilities. In the end I wound up honing her for almost a full evening using the Unicot method and was very succesful eventually. I still consider this one of the sharpest shavers that I've had my hands on. I apologize for the poor pic. It's the only one I have left. In the mean time I passed this razor on to a friend of a friend of mine, who is just starting straight razor shaving. Why not do him the pleasure of at least starting with a sharp one. :-)

Its a magnetic 7/8's I need to clean it up an get it honed, but I am definately excited to try it!

I really dont know anything about it so if someone knows about this blade please inform me!

Adam,

That is a VERY interesting razor. The etching on the blade is in Portuguese, not Spanish, which makes it an even rarer razor. Probably made in Germany for the Portuguese or Brazilian markets.

Translated, "Faca um ensaio" means: "Test it", or "Make an experiment". "Magnetica" is, you guessed it, "Magnetic"

Hi # 14 fans,

Thought it was time to put another # 14 in this topic as it has been quiet here for some time.

This is a "Mannos # 14" and it looks nice in my opinion.






Looking forward to other # 14's that surely are amongst us straight razor fans.

Kindest regards, Jazor.
