Hi !
I just got this straight, it's a Carl Schaaf Solingen #401 Veni Vidi Vici edition I found.
Any thoughts on that? It's the first time I hear that name. I guess is pretty old straight
Thanks!

Well she sure is a looker... I would be surprised if it's a really old straight though. The really old blades don't have that kind of etching and they usually have heavier grinds and rather stout tangs. I think it looks really nice though! Good find
I'm not a student of Latin but I think that translates to Julius Caesar's," I came, I saw, I conquered." Looks like a really nice razor. Most of the old Solingens are IME.
That is one great looking razor. You should enjoy that one for many years to come.
very nice blade. excellent find
Thanks for your input guys. Do you know Carl Schaaf at all? I couldn't find anything on the internet about it. I love the look of the razor, but i have to hone it. Hopefully my practice is good enought to make it shave ready :)
Nice looking Razor. Sorry but I don't know anything about the brand. We do need to know how well it shaves when you find out.
Nice snag on the razor,Veni,Vidi,Vici,("I came, I saw, I conquered") is an excellent motto! :)
