I got an old razor from my friend and it is RAKETA razor from ex Soviet Union...
So, I was wondering if those razors are any good for shaving or are they just good to learn how to hone a razor...
Thanks...

Dunno but let us know how it hones up and shaves. :gl:
Well, there is a picture of it in my old thread...
It has been sanded and polished since then...
I'll get my whetstones on saturday, so then we'll see how it will look...:hmmm:
I have 4 Soviet razors that I bought from antique shops in Estonia. I got one of them, a "Steez", honed and it is one of the best shavers in my collection.
Even more jealous. Had my addiction been at its height during my backpacking days through eastern europe I would have kept my eyes peeled.:(Quote:

In Soviet Union did many straight razors, but quality of steel was not so good. Therefore many Soviet people used trophy Germans razors.
