Thanks everyone. Some beautiful razors out there.
Just can't make my mind up but there is something about those Spanish points!
It was my Aust's turn today. I'm getting better at shaving as I just started a few short months ago. It was my second acquisition and man, it was a great shave today. It just glided. 5/8 round point.
Here is my collection -- 2 R. Aust's from SRD -- a 5/8 and a 6/8 stainless, as well as my 30+ year old SR from Hoffritz that i'm still not comfortable with, in spite of a Lynn Abram's honing. Just doesn't seem to "cut it", but my stropping has become more productive, so I'm going to keep working on it, just out of determination and spite. The two R. Aust's are "gliders".

It's going to be tricky choosing. What are those scales made from?
I'm going to have to put my future great grandkids income in hock to get one of those. I do love vintage but that is a beauty. I hope you will enjoy it's song.
Looks like cocobolo,not dissin but the scales are a bit wonkey
Palisander = Rosewood. I quite fancy this myself with a Spanish point.
There was a number of years ago a wild sci fi short story about living in the future where, to maintain your current living, you could attach your descendents' future income. If the economy ever goes bluey again that might just occur to someone with an evil mind.
Just placed my order for a 7/8 Spanish point in black acrylic. It's my birthday in a few days, so why not?
Received my new Ralf Aust yesterday - bit of an anti-climax really, they mistakenly sent me a 7/8 round head in rosewood instead of the 7/8 spanish head in black acrylic. :cry:
Have contacted RA and he will replace with the correct model and refund postage, so I guess it's not too bad. Just means I'll have to wait a bit longer for my birthday gift from me. :)
