    Default TENNIS

    Hello:
    I am currently restoring a Soligen TENNIS #80. Does anyone know what the "80" refers to? I have seen other TENNIS #80 razors that have different etchings, tang markings and sizes.
    Thank-you for your reply.

    In this thread <http://straightrazorpalace.com/razors/31250-tennis-70-appears-unused-so.html> members talk about a Tennis #70 as well as #80 so that would appear to be a model number.

    That was my initial assumption as well but the OP says he has seen various sizes and style Tennis razors with the same # 80. No help from me either I'm afraid.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    TENNIS #80 - Straight Razor - Shave Ready - eBay (item 230451891958 end time Mar-27-10 10:45:37 PDT)

    Vintage Straight Razor Solingen Expert Work Tennis 80 - eBay (item 380217234931 end time Mar-27-10 18:01:52 PDT)

    Above are two #80s, and I have another that is different than both of these. This makes the meaning of "80" a bit unclear.

    Maybe "80" was a line of Tennis that had several different issues.

    Looks like a model number to me. I just looked at my Dovo one and it has the 80 on it. And I've had pre Dovo ones with the same.
    I don't think the numbers correspond to a particular size. I've had the exact same design of razor and number but in very different sizes 4/8, 5/8 and 6/8. Not limited to one manufacturer either.

    To compare with the other "Tennis" razors, here is mine that I just finished rescaling in maple.
