Thread: Easternblock Britva

Does this thread get any action???

I've been searching for the past few months at street markets and vintage shops where I live here in Ukraine. Haven't had to many chances to go but have picked up a few razors that I'm looking for more information about. I've given these all a bit of a scrubbing, just a little baking soda and vinegar nothing serious.

I've found the following,
- Chika, the one with the thin blade, vintage condition.
- Raketa, that's the one with the little rocket, the blade on this one has some staining but is pretty decent
- ekctron, (my transliteration), also pretty decent condition
- and a N7 from stez, which is I think in quite good condition and the one I'm planning on trying to put to use.

Does anyone know about these makes? Are these good finds? I'm thinking about ebaying a few of them or putting them in the classifieds, does anyone have any suggestions on what they are worth.

Welcome to this thread.
Nice collection you have!
The Stiz is a good brand, but we can't tell you a price, it all depends on the buyer.

congrats!

I have ten blades very much like this, all found on ebay, from 1953 - 1968 and they ALL are excellent shavers. All take an edge easily and hold it well. I paid between 15 and 30 for anyone of them although the prices seem to have jumped.
