revisior razor

Very nice! I really like the gold on it :tu

Can't wait for mine next week...I didn't shave yesterday (was too sick to bother) and I'm thinking of just waiting to shave until mine comes in!

Before I shaved I stropped on scrub leather 10 times and premium leather 20 times.. It shaved very smooth.. From what I have read they set the bevel by machine then finish by hand on a coticule.. It was a great shave.. I would recommend any body in the market for a new razor to take a look at the revisior I'm impressed!

I second that recommendation. There seems to be a default to Dovo or Boker when it comes to new razors, especially when recommending one to a new guy. But Revisor offers a great deal of quality razors with many different choices in style and size. You made a great choice.

One of these days soon I am gonna get one or two from Revisor. Their site is awesome sick, with LOTS of variety. I have never seen so many different razors in one place. Prices are okayish, too. Not great, maybe, but realistic. If I could justify it, I would buy a whole basket of assorted razors from them! (My Dad might get a little irritated, though!)

Then again I just saw a Bismarck for $132 on SRD! Mine cost $160 when it was new, shortly before I acquired it.

I'm a big fan of the square tip. Dovo and Boker mostly offer round. The nice thing about Revisor is that you can choose anything from 4/8-7/8, square or round tip, shoulder or not, and different scale options.

For a while I've been admiring the elegance of blades with a very straight pattern and a square point, so I ordered one of these.

They've been very quick so far too - I put my order in Sunday evening, my invoice with PayPal details was here early Monday morning and I paid right away, and early this morning I got notification it has shipped together with a tracking number.

With a bit of luck I'll be shaving with it in a few days!

It arrived today - 5 days from Germany to the UK is good.

The razor is very nice, but its not shave-ready - it isn't tree-topping arm hairs very well, and the bevel isn't quite set right back to the heel, so I'll have to do a bit of honing before I use it. But overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

No, not yet - I won't have any spare whiskers until at least tomorrow.

I felt the same way u did about it not being shave ready. . Until I gave it the shave test... test shave it first

Mine was not. Under a microscope the edge was not very happy looking. I needed to reset the bevel. This is the one I got.
