Thanks for the help! and if someone fancys it... well its for sale!
Welcome to SRP. Check out the wiki and the library, you may find some info on that particular razor. If you are asking monetary value, we don't do that here. If you are asking if it is "worth" keeping, well that's another story. It would all depend on how well it hones and holds an edge and since I am not well versed in Russian razors that question will really have to be answered by you, or someone else that knows these razors.
As said, valuations are against forum rules. You can check completed listings on ebay for an idea of monetary value if that is what you are asking. Looks to be in good condition though. Just because it is Russian does not mean it won't shave well.

Thanks guys! its in grate condition (dosent wiggle or anything, no rust stains and stuff like that) and shaves. going to check the liberary so thanks anyways!
So. You joined the forum in order to sell your Russian razor? A new one on me! :rolleyes:
I don't think he was trying to sell it but to get some information on it.

TheFox,
Welcome to Straight Razor Place, whether you know something about straight razors or not. If you stay long enough, however, perhaps you will learn about the art and craft of straight razor shaving, which, in turn, might lead you to become a straight razor shaver yourself.
As the other gentlemen have noted, we do not valuate straight razors: that is suggesting a value for your razor is against the forum's policy. You may try other venues to sell your razor. No matter where you sell your razor, knowing something about it will help in your description of the razor you're trying to sell. Most buyers will need to know what they are buying.
Every Russian razor I have owned has been a good shaver when honed properly. The best of luck to you.
okey so no selling happening. im takeing this razor discovery as a sign to start shaving this way. thank you
TheFox,
That is an excellent idea. Use it to learn to shave with the straight razor. Before you go further, though, please study all information you can here on Straight Razor Place. Then ask questions and we all will try to guide you. Finally, you not only need to have your razor honed by a professional, but also need to have a quality strop, brush, soap or cream to start on the right foot. But one thing at a time: first comes the research, then the questions.
TheFox, Welcome to SRP.
Here is some info:
СТИЗ (STIZ), USSR.
I don't see the tang stamp on your pictures. Usually the number on the tang is the year of production (Russian razors only, as I know).
i cant see anything on the blade... maybe it was replaced or something
