Thread: Robert Klaas 78

Probably a common razor, on not the best shaver (I do not know), but I like so much this straight. The seller told me that the razor, made during the '40s, was part of the collection of a polish barber in Hamburg. Arrived yesterday morning, it seems in good condition. I have some new pics for you.

EDIT: I payed 20$ delivered.

Nice razor you have there. I don't think Robert Klaas is 'common' going by the few I have seen on ebay. I have managed to grab two of them. My two are both fine shavers. I was attracted to the brand because of my experience with his "Kissing Cranes" pocket knives. The Klaas marque goes back a couple of hundred years in Solingen.

I have a 6/8 Klass It's a solid shaver with file jimps on the tang. Klass's are well crafted but not extrordinary.

I agree. Same with their pocket knives. Good and solid but not the cream of the crop. My two are good shavers though.

Today my "Robert Klaas #28 VETERAN" arrived. Very good conditions, probably never honed or just pre-honed. According to the seller it was made in the '20s. Original scales in bone and original pins (perfect and tied). French point, 4/8, 1/4-1/2 hollow (?). Same price. Tomorrow decent pics.

Some pics of the new arrived:

Anybody know anything about a Rob Klaas with Prussia stamped under the name?
