Easternblock Britva
This is the place for those few but good shavers: soviets, USSR, Russian, Hungarian and all the straight razors from beyond the old iron curtain.
Trud Vacha model "Gravyura" 1956

I have no idea what mine is other than it has Cryllic lettering.
I'll hone it up this weekend. It doesn't seem to have a bevel yet.
