Well, there is only one Gotta in our SRDB so far: Gotta "120" 11/16 - Straight Razor Place Wiki - why not add yours, too?
Thanks for the link to submit razors to the database.
I have a Gotta 120(great razor BTW),but, it is exactly the same as the razor allready shown on the database. I do have quite a few other razors I will be adding.
Thanks Again M

I have a 5/8ths Gotta marked "Finest Sheffield Steel" and a 6/8ths marked "Best Silver Steel". They're not in as nice shape as yours, but they do shave beautifully.

I acquired a Gotta 120-series in a lot of 15 razors I bought for $225 on eBay. I think this single razor is worth what I paid for the whole batch. I almost sold it because I'm raising money for my wedding, but it simply has the finest workmanship of any blade I've owned. After I took down the auction (no one was bidding on my high minimum bid yet), I noticed that it said Finest Sheffield Steel, and since all my other keepers are chopper Wade & Butchers, I felt doubly glad I'd not let it get away.
Does anyone know when the 120 series was produced? I see it says Hamburg, rather than Solingen. But this looks like such a modern design, with the etching and gold washing. Has the Gotta company gone away like so many others?http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...&id=1249208983
Gentlemen,
Those pictures of the pair of Gotta razors are worth framing. A great find.
By the way, does anyone know the history and the pedigree of the Gotta razor?
Regards,

my daddy just this morning brought home a slightly rough version of this exact razor. $18aus at a swap meet, which is about $15us. it's in good nick, just needs a bit of a clean up and hone. can't wait to give it a go after all of these reviews!
