Thread: Suggestions for a good 4/8?

The Superior Shave in Jacksonville (FL) stocks Boker's 4/8 Tree brand razor-$145 (free shipping and very shave ready). I used to have one of these and it's a fine bit of goods. I still have a 5/8 version of the same blade. Excellent razor.

Which one on the revisor site is the "Puma"? I don't see that name.

My vote go's to the Filarmonica Corte Cabello STRAIGHT RAZOR FILARMONICA DOBLE TEMPLE ESPECIAL PARA CORTE DEL CABELLO | eBay

I have one at they hone easily, they shave great and that little rubber finger grip helps alot with stropping and grip whilst shaving. Great razor!

Messer der Woche

That's the Puma. They have an outstanding reputation for been A class shavers.

I've got a pair of MK n°30 in tortoise, 4/8e, and they are my favorite hollow ground shavers

(even if I wouldn't spend $400 for one )

Puma also seems to be a good pick

I really like mine now that you mention it. It really is a great blade!!

If you can find one, look at the Henckels Friodur 89 1/2. They are nimble, easy to sharpen, and will not rust or stain with reasonable care.

Not a suggestion but this is my one and only 4/8
Pretty beat up but has horn scales and a sway back
No idea of the maker.

Ern I'd say.
