Thread: Gotta razors

Here are my 2 6/8 Gotta's. I didn't know where to put them, so I will show them off here. They say finest Sheffield steel ground in Germany. Pretty, aren't they?? And they shave like a dream!

The sphisticated soligens thread would be a good place, I would assume.

Oh wow, those look GOOOOOD!! How do they shave for you? I have an identical one, but 5/8, and it is without doubt my best shaver.

Where did you find 'em?

Excellent razors

I Gotta 5/8 super fine too. Nice razor. Not easy to hone up though. Thin blade.

The 6/8 are far from thin, that have a nice stiff grind!

Well - in my learned opinion (forget humble on this one), the 6/8 120 series Gottas have one of the best blades ever made, full stop. Singing edge, eat your heart out. Top Gun stuff and these are two beauties!

Mine is a 5/8 120 Gotta superfine. It is the same razor as the top one in the picture.

I don't know why the picture turned out like it did, but the two razors are identical! Must be one of them optical delusions.

i was just given 2 of these knives... i dont know much (if anything about straight razors) and was wondering what the handles are made from and how old they are?

any tips on cleaning them
