Thread: Bartmann Lovers Club

I can't believe more Bartmann razors aren't proudly on display in the club!! I guess I need to resurrect the club and put up my two.

The first is a 89 High Class Extra Manganese Steel (13/16, full hollow) and the second is a 100 High Class Manganese Steel (11/16, full hollow). They're quickly on their way to becoming my favorite pair of razors.

These are the Bartmann razors from my personal collection.

Dimirty, my jaw just dropped. Those are AMAZING. I must say, I am a bit jealous of that amazing collection...very beautiful!

Holy crap, Dmitry-I think you've cornered the market- that is a museum quality collection!

Daaaaaaaaamn!

Omg my collection looks ghetto compared to those masterpieces.

can anyone tell me what is the difference between bartmann 504 and 505

I did an image search. I've never heard of a 505, but saw that unlike the 504, it has no scrollwork on the spine. A plain spine.

Go to page three of this thread to see an example.

As Dimitry posted, I also noticed a great deal of Bartmanns are to be found over here in Belgium, it's an interesting given.
I checked a couple of sites and easily found 5 Bartmanns listed, of course they all fetch a serious price and Belgian and Dutch SR shavers seem VERY aware of this, it's too bad they can't be had for a relatively decent price anymore.

I inherited a Bartmann and would love to get a couple more, but the prices shoot up way too fast

This is the bartmann I own, it says 505 On the blade it says souvenir Coln ( a Germany city I think) and there is an etching of an cathedral. But the etching is very faint
