Thread: RAZOR YOU TRIED TO SELL, COULDN'T & FOUND OUT YOU REALLY LIKE IT

I have a vintage Revisor 6/8 razor I purchased a couple of years ago and thought it was okay and after using it a couple of times decided to sell it. I couldn't get the modest price for it I wanted so I kept it. It was my intention to oil it up and store it. One day I took it out and honed it using my Naniwa 5k, 8k, 12k then 10 laps on my Escher. Shave was really smooth. I then did 10 laps on my Mastro Livi Loom Strop using the chromium oxide then 20 laps on the skin side. Shaved with it and the shave was amazing. Now it is part of my rotation and my travel razor. Have any outcasts that found their way into your hand?

Haven't had enough honed razors to really have "outcasts" yet. I honed a Van Der Hagen? Hardware I was planning on selling the other day, then started reconsidering after doing a dry test shave.
Seemed like a good shaver and that was just off my 1/6k Coti setup.

I have a Tally Ho with a nice smile that I found with a vintage coticule at the local flea market. Honed it up with that coti which is a difficult to learn stone and got a very nice shave. I really love the razors from the 1700's though and only have so much room so decided to sell the Tally Ho. Unfortunately had no luck at a reasonable price and found most wanted me to pretty much give it away. So I decided to play with it one more time on the coticule and shave to decide if I would sell it for next to nothing just to make room. Well I now am not selling it. The shave is just too nice to let it go for so little. Plus it is a very nice all original with translucent honey horn scales razor.
