    Default Holeka

    I have just bought, but not yet received, a used razor through ebay. I've bought it to practice my honing on, but I also like the look of it from what little I could see.
    The seller says it is has "41 Holeka Solingen" on the blade. I can't find much about it on the 'net, although Holeka gets a small mention on this site.
    Can anyone tell me more about this model?



    Thanks,

    I hope no-one minds me bumping this up, just in case any of the guys in the US have heard of this razor.
    I'm looking forward to sending to Steve here in the UK to get it shave ready. I guess that's the proof of the pudding.

    The owner of Holeka was Paul Klarenbach. I tried to find info about this company, many times, but nothing.

    Honingman, kak dela.

    I found your Russian page when I searched but although I was in Kazakhastan for a while I never learnt as much Russian as I should have.

    What do you know about PK then?

    Well it doesn't translate to perfect English, but it is readable: Google Translate

    Unfortunately it doesn't help much to identify the razor.

    Horosho!
    What "PK"? Cutting edge?
    I am in Russia, worked as a foreman for sharpening razors and recovery.
    I used to repair 500 razors.
    What should I tell?
