One side has 'otto busch / solingen wald' stamped into it.
the other has '124 weltmeister'.
It's a 11/16 full hollow with simple black plastic scales.
It's the first razor I ever had, and I am having my doubts about the quality of the steel.
On the 4K it continuously leaves grey trails. On the 8K it catches the stone with each pass, as if burrs get cought in the stone. When I hold it to the light, I can see microchipping.
The only way to get it to sharpen without burrs is on the yellow coticule.
And even then, it gets dull after a couple of shaves, to the point where I simply cannot use it anymore.
Is it possible for solingen steel to be rotten?
Not that I don't dare question my technique, but this one is the only one so far that behaves like this.
