Thread: Russian razor ?

As far as the writing, britva meens razor and I think uskaya means narrow but there are probably others on this forum who speak Russian better than me.
In my opinion, some of the old Soviet razors are very good shavers. One of my favorites in my personal collection is a Russian razor that I picked up in Europe and got for very cheap.

Whoa! I just came across a similar razor on the Singapore eBay with a 'buy it now' price of $99.99. Someone must have a high opinion of this razor, or they are looking for the biggest sucker in the creek. It almost makes me feel guilty for only paying $7. Naahh - not really.

Regards - Walt
