YZKAYA (Russian spelling Узкая) means narrow. Shame on me, I still don't have a single Russian razor

Absolutely correct

I don't feel appropriate to correct native Russians here but is not the correct English spelling "Uzkaya"?

Yep, that's correct, "Y" and Russian "У" just looks similar, but by the sound "U" is more appropriate Originally Posted by sparq

One more Soviet razor, made by STIZ with "Crimean bridge" on the blade.

Being a language student of German and Russian, I am very much interested in getting a Russian razor eventually. There was one on the bay a while back, but the $14 shipping turned me off of it. German razors are easy to find, but razors from Russia are much much harder.

Russian is a BEAUTIFUL language, IMO. I would love to have a Russian razor as well

I wish I had had the sense to look for a razor 37 years ago when I was there!
Of course, I knew nothing, and God knows what I would have ended up with. I believe I remember seeing Raketa (Ракета) razors, and I strongly suspect they weren't of the quality we're seeing on this thread.

My razor is about 53 years old. Razors "Ракета" were made on the same factory STIZ.
