rotflmao, this is great, ffs :] I mean the language used, it is really oldschool I will mark parts with numbers in brackets like (1), (2) and so on.

Okay, there it goes, as closely as possible:

"(1) A couple of advice for the ones buying shaving razors (2) <it seems to me that some part is skipped> which is a guarantee of its high quality of use (3) The razors of our manufacture are made of high quality steel using the most advanced technology. (4) Every piece <it definitely should say "kazda sztuka", it seems that your papers are somewhat incomplete> has undergone careful quality control, so there is no possibilty of a faulty razor sold. The buyer will get complete satisfaction provided the proper handling is assured. (5) The razor should be stropped on a leather strop prior to each use. Stropping should be carried out in a following fashion:"

thanks buddy i thought it was something like that i will still post the second half later

Well I dropped my wapi off to neil miller today to get it honed and looked at some of his strops
I'm going to have one of them too, he seams to know his stuff should have it back soon
Mattisso have you received yours yet?
Colin.

No, not yet, I expect it to arrive on monday.

wapi all ready to use inc strop neil miller strop and honed by the very same man cant wait to use it

Alright, as expected, it arrived today. Here are the actual pictures, especially that someone was referring to hardly visible pins. Well, they're there, as you can see, although really strange, indeed.

The overall build is quite spartan, the blade is moving hard all the way. When you close it, the blade wedges in between the scales, pushing them apart noticeably <edit: it is not the blade, but the part that usually has jimps on its both sides). No jimps here. A pretty hardcore straight , compared to my grandpa's Kiebitz/Schutze/BroSem (I don't know which one is the notation of the manufacturer). I will post the photos of the latter one later, or even will add it to the database, it seems there weren't any like it when I looked for it recently.

It isn't stamped, nor arrived with any papers or a box, so if you want me to translate the rest of this stuff, you have to provide me with them.

Luckily it is not warped, yet I still don't know if it is a Wapi! However, looking at the pics and comparing them to others gives me the feeling it is a Wapi, but these pins are strange, ain't they?

Matt

yes the pins are strange i will look up some pics that i have an check them
back soon
