Ralf Aust Razor

[Phoenix51]

Good Morning.

Having had great success with my first Ralf Aust razor I decided to buy a second. I trust it is on the way. I am really hoping this is what shows up.



There is really no reference to it on the current Aust site. I did include pictures when ordering and Herr Aust seemed to have a handle on what I was asking about...I suppose I'll know for sure when it arrives. It seems to be a version of the "American" head, but the razors of that style on the Aust site lack the bevels found up by the toe (as seen on the above picture).

Has anyone seen this razor in person? I find it to be a remarkably good looking blade and for the asking price (even with shipping) all indications are it's going to be a real winner. Kind of like buying a pig in the proverbial poke here, but I'm sure one way or the other all will be good. If anyone has other pictures of this razor though or knows anything about it..any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance
