Thread: Your One razor NOS unicorn would be????

+1 NOS DePews "The Perfect Razor" with that oh so loverly Monkey Tail...

Would have to be really NOS though, so many of them are honed all wrong with heavy toe wear and oddball spine wear


I wouldn't pass up on a NOS Tosuke Kamisori either

The one that shaved me the best.

I just read a terrific novel about the Vikings...I don't think they shaved.

A bronze age one could be doable to restore.

It seems like that monkey tail would give you more control over the razor....is this true from someone who has shaved with one?

And now its re-listed for something like $800!

For me i think it would be pretty cool to find a Harrington in nos.

I am not sure if it is the Monkey Tail or the overall ergonomics of the razor that make it exceptional for me..


(Pic Stolen from SRP FB)

Very Small
Very Smiley (when honed correctly)
Very well Balanced
Has a nice gentle Oblique point


The razor just works for my face and I will make Jamie groan here but it is very much like my King Pelican it just fits so well..
I wouldn't even say the steel is exceptional, it is very good but nothing that makes me go WOW !!!

I would love a NOS/Mint example to fall from heaven

Heljestrand MK 32

I'm not sure what would constitute a unicorn razor for me these days.
I've had several up thru my journey in this hobby.
Those are all here now
Perhaps though, a Heljestrand MK134..
Yeah, I'll settle for that one!

But a unicorn razor that would end RAD?
No such thing, believe you me, I have tried!
