Thread: RUSSIAN razor yzkaya

I bought this razor from europe i think it was Bulgaria.
I was interested in it only because of my Background. Razor was in new condition. Size is almost 5 /8 and has a little smile face to it. This razor is very very light.
I start to sharpen this blade and took me a good time just set a bevel. Remind me very hard steel TI chrome if i am not mistaken. Took me another 40 minutes to finish it up and shave test.
I couldn't believe how smooth shave was. All the work i spend on it was worth it.
if you have chance go head try this blade. you will love it.this is the pictures

There's one most of us haven't seen.Thanks for posting,Sham.

This razor was made by "STIZ"("СТИЗ").
I have extensive experience in sharpening Russian razors.=))

Sham, I honed one for a local guy & found the same as you. Great shave but long time honing on my King stones. Look forward to ceramics soon. I think the one I did was stainless but not marked as such..
Not a spot of rust on the blade & a little near the pivot just brushed off.

Here, very interesting razor made by "STIZ".
