Thank you my friends. I like to share whenever I can & some may have eventually seen it when going to SRD on the internet but I thought I would give everyone a heads up. I love helping & sharing.
I'm looking forward to getting that razor real soon, been wanting another Ralph Aust and that is the one.
oh man, I was seriously looking to buy the ralf aust 6/8 afr. blackwood but since they were out of stock I went with a smaller purchase. . . . I am glad I waited. now ive got the funds for this. JUST ORDERED MINE
Cool! I'm happy for ya.Quote:

Certainly a real beauty and the price is very reasonable for what you get in a RA!
Pictures when it arrives my friend!Quote:

Nice one I do find most of the Ralph aust come with a very good edge.
Second to Mastro Livi I really like the Aust's. Got 2 6/8 and have been debating getting this one. Have another Mastro Livi on the way but would really like to get this one for the 7 day rotation. Might have to move some others for this one.
:dropjaw: what a beauty
Actually no. I have 3 Austs including the SRD and the first two needed some minor work. Of course I'm really particular about my edges and those two didn't take much. The SRD razor was far from shave ready. Of course I could have sent it back and it would have been taken care of but I just honed it myself. it was straight forward.Quote:

Ah yes, this razor is on my list. I love the details about it.
And you must be. A friend of mine has a shop over here, and has sold hundreds of Aust razors - without a single complaint. But I've said it before, standards in the US are different, just like high grit synthetics are virtually unknown over here. All the Aust razors I personally tried were flawless, and en par with anything I have ever received by a so called honemeister. But yes, YMMV ;)Quote:

Would I purchase this razor, absolutely and I probably will in the near future. Do Aust razors come shave ready, mine have. I have given them a touch up on my Eschers after months of use.
I,ve had several and ralp aust come pritty much shave ready, my 7/8 straight from ralfs shaves beautiful . Much better than most Dovo,s out the box
