    Default PEACE, BROTHERS! A tale of two PAX razors

    In the interest of world peace, I would like to show off my two PAX razors! They were both made by H. Eicker & Sohne in Solingen. The larger and black scaled razor is carbon steel, but the 5/8 cream celluloid razor is marked "Superior Stainless" and has "Eishartung" etched on the blade, which means Ice Hardened. (thanks to BeBerlin's translation!) They both shave like a dream. The stainless razor feels exactly like a Henckels Friodur while shaving-I could not tell the difference between the stainless PAX and a Friodur, if I was blindfolded. Not that I would shave that way! I keep them in a 1930's vintage leather folding case for travel, which works well and heightens the vintage character of my shaving experience. Hope you enjoy the pics.

    Awesome score there. Exceptional.

    Those razors are not only living in pax together, they're saying: Ubi concordia ibi victoria (where there is harmony there is victory). You've got a winning set there.

    I have a 13/16 (actually a 21mm blade) "Eishartung" stainless PAX #66 spike point. It is one of my finest razors and has been in my rotation for about four years.
