    Default Polish Surgical razor (11/16) nice!

    Bought this a while ago from a friend in Poland. Stainless steel scales, and a shape that brings to mind an SFK razor, it has the same feeling while shaving, but the point is just rounded, so it is not a regular Wapi.
    Certain thing is that this was a surgical razor, and according from my friend also from similar usage and age than the old Wapis. Have tried it and it’s a very good shaver, would compare with any razor I have tried made by SFK, but since it has no stamps on the tang, I’m practically giving it away . Great razor for a beginner!

    The blade is Shave Ready (for my taste; that means, my beard, skin, shaving technique etc…), but maybe some more stropping is required for your taste. Honed on progression of Naniwas up to 12k and finished in SG20K. After honed and tested, the razor has been cleaned and disinfected, a thin coat of camellia oil has been applied to protect it and will be safely packed for the travel.

    Shipping (to be covered by the buyer) to almost any country using EMS for expedite delivery (about 10 business days from shipping date to deliver at your country customs office) for only $15 to the US (ask me for other countries).
    (If you prefer, I can ship it for free without tracking number under buyer’s responsibility on F&F payments). Shipping within 3 business days. PayPal payment is expected within 24 hours after commit to buy the razor in this thread.

    Price: $45

    I can support your statement that it is a very good shaver! I have one that looks almost exactly the same and also comes from Poland.
    But it was one of my first ones I tried honing with, so it doesn't look as good as yours anymore

    Given the large number of these that I still have, I resent this price.

    They vary in width and edge length and I don't know why. I recently,bought a second one to make a pair and it is overall shorter by ~!/4 inch and narrower by 1mm or so. Go figure?!?!

    Maaaaan... the visual effect of having an all-steel construction is amazing. It almost looks like the Apple esthetics.
    Maybe they could use this design and make it an iDevice, the iShave!

    FME, the scales are heavy, yet the blade is too. If you have a tight pivot (usually do!), not bad!
    A proper edge. They shave good. Last 2 I had were bitches, not like the stamped Wapis for sure.
    Took a long time to get decent results.
    If Gabe got it shaving, should be a good one!
    I like the utilitarian thing about them. Comfortable!
