C-Mon Cadillac Razor

Gentlemen,

A while back I asked if anyone had heard of the C-Mon. I read a string of informative answers regarding the quality of the classic C-Mons.

I have a new question for you about this brand: Has anyone heard of a C-Mon Cadillac razor? Apparently this is one of the new productions of this razor.

Thanks.

Regards,

Obie

I bought one a while back. Fit and function are good, but like most razors the factory edge is not great. I am waiting for a few more razors I have purchased to arrive so I can send a batch out for honing. It looks as good as any new Dovo.

Any indication of where the blade is made?

The vintage C-Mon Cadillac was quite a razor. Referring to the one made in Germany and distributed by Peter J. Michaels with the fancy scales typical of the genre.

C-Mon Cadillac Razor

My dear Jimmy,

Is there a difference, then, between the classic C-Mon and the C-Mon Cadillac? Or are they the same razor?

The one about which I had inquired seems to be the new version of the old, I assume. Do you have any thoughts on the quality of this one? The new C-Mon has failed to receive reviews beyond the ordinary. If the new C-Mon and the C-Mon Cadillac are different razors, then what are your thoughts on the new C-Mon Cadillac?

Thanks.

Regards,

Obie, I don't have any experience with the current line of C-Mon razors. I have a number of the vintage pieces and they are all very good IME. I recall reading a review on the current C-Mons here .

I've owned one for over a year. It was not a good shaver when I purchased it, however it now shaves very well since I have sharpened it myself. It was not very expensive and I think it is a good value for the money. It will not come shave-ready. So, expect to have it sharpened before using it.

"Cadillac" and "Blackie" have been C-Mon models for a long time across several subcontractors. The vintage ones are really excellent, the currently available ones are functional and extremely inexpensive (IIRC mine cost $48 new). I have no idea who makes the current models.
