Thread: German Kaufmann K55K (6/8+) – neat hollow!

Alrighty, Time for a very nice razor in great shape, this was my first Kaufmann, and I remember I was really surprised with the shave, I had not paid too much attention to the grind when I used first, but after shaving with it I checked closely and found a really neat grind that I’m sure you guys will also like. Took a couple of pics to show.

Great quality and very nice scales made me postpone several times my decision of letting this cutie go…but at the end, some have to go so some other can come, and I’m sure one of you guys will be very happy once you try it

It comes 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, disinfected. Then for protection, it will be oiled and wrapped in VCI paper and will 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). Note: 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 after payment. PayPal payment is expected within 24 hours after commit to buy the razor in this thread. Generally willing to hear reasonable offers. *Always happy to help grouping razors to reduce individual shipping costs!*. As with all Vintage razors, there could be small defects in the blade or scales, but all my razors’ edges are checked clear of any pitting or nicks, and scales are tight and close ok unless the contrary is specified.

Price: $70

Lovely grind shots and a wonderful scale inlay design that I've never seen before. Great looking razor that should find a home pretty quickly.

Can I ask if it’s a very sharp point or is it slightly rounded?

Still quite new to straight razor shaving and have a hard time using very square points.

A sharp tip is an easy fix. Just rub the tip against wood a couple times. It wont show much at all and kills just the tip. FWIW. Great buy, GLWS.

Well Davan, it's not a perfect spike point that i would qualify as super dangerous, but i would call it squalre point.. just a biiiit rounded maybe this detail pic helps:

one time only price reduction: $65

Oh my... if I wasn't already committed to an Iwasaki, I would hafta take you up on this one. What a gorgeous Kaufmann. I've never seen inlay quite like this one. And it's almost like a bellied hollow grind too. This is an awesome blade for a great price man...

Think I will take you up on this one. Message me your PP and I will connect with you during the day.

No response from Buyer in 48hrs.... Razor is still for sale
