    Like Jerry, I had a Raketa at some point.
    Came to me NOS.
    Nice shaver. Small. Held the edge well.
    Sold it because it was too small for my big hands.
    As said above, if you find one for a good price, go for it, but don't spend the world on it.

    I think you got the earlier edition of Raketa from STIZ. Those which were manufactured after 1965 were the lottery already.

    Yea, nothing wrong with Russian razors if the one I have is anything to go by. They are also what I would expect in a tool for the masses. Nothing more than what is needed to get the job done and they do.

    I hope the Raketa Razors are better than the Raketa Watches.
