I recently saw a razor that looks to be a quality product but is not on the SRP list of good or bad razors.
Does anyone know the quality/value of S.R. Droescher blue diamond model?

I've had a few SRD razors, and they've been great. I don't know about the blue diamond in particular, but I would assume it too would be a quality razor.
theres some talk of Droescher here

I have a gold bug and its a great razor. No reason to doubt the one you are looking at would be great too.
any of the ones i've had has been as good or better as the ducks. for what i know may have been made by the same companies, as both brands are just vendors.

Not much I can tell you that IIRC about $12 and both of mine are fantastic shavers..
I have the 18k and an NOS Gold Bug
The list in the Wiki is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive. Imagine us putting all the Solingen manufacturers from the 19th and early 20th centuries in there... ;)
I have found that if a razor is vintage, there must be a reason why it is still around. I find it hard to imagine Zeepk razors becoming an heirloom in the 22nd century. "Chaps, my grandfather couldn't shave with it, neither could my father - it must be good, no?"
If you are looking at the mint piece on ebay all I can say is bring your piggy bank and be prepared to break it. :D
After all your informative responses, I regret to say that the razor I was eyeballing has went solar systems beyond my budget. I was thinking $60 maybe $65 tops.
It is an E-bay item and up to $325 with almost two days to go.
I thought I'd post the link here for any of you who are collectors and would be interested.

Maybe this will help to some extent.

60-65? You'd have sorely lost to me if that's where it would've ended :)Quote:
