    Home

    Revisor's website.

    Neil Miller in the UK has one for sale, shave ready of course.

    Revisor Gold Straight Razor, Solingen

    I once ordered an 8/8 from Revisor which I sold a while back as I found it too big. The factory honing was poor IMO and had an uneven bevel. The razor was a top shaver once honed correctly, and very well made. I was just annoyed at the initial state of the bevel.

    I have always liked the vintage Revisor razors and find the new ones pretty nice too. There are a couple reviews in the Razor Forum here you might want to check out. To me the vintage revisors shave every bit as well as a couple of the trendy razor brands fetching some big bucks these days.

    Have fun,

    Lynn

    I had one of the new ones for a while, and I really liked how she shaved. Haven't had a chance to try one of the vintage ones yet, though.

    Hello, messmuck:

    I have two new Revisors, one a muted spike and the other a round point, both 6/8", and I find them well made and good shavers.

    Regards,
    Obie

    Thumbs up Nessmuck - REVISORS

    If you are wondering about the quality of a vintage REVISOR razor, wonder no more. The uppermost razor in the photo with the green scales and blood red wedge is my favorite. I am not sure but I have reason to believe that this one is a rescale by Maximillian. Could be wrong but it very much resembles his impeccable craftmanship. At any rate, I hope it is a Max razor.

    Rumor is that several of these razors were found in a basement in Solingen Germany unscaled and at least one of them found its way into the hands of Max. Again, I hope this is a true story.


    Whenever I get a haircut, I usually bring one or two of my razors for the barber to shave around my ears and neck line. My barber, [Frank, 75 years old, from Venezuela] loves my Revisor razors. He personally shaves daily with a Filarmonica. This guy is totally good with a straight razor. A real pro.

    Get yourself a vintage Revisor, you won't be sorry.

    I am tickled pink to have these three and I am in the market for #4..............

    I have heard many good things about these Revisors...I am getting in the market for one of these as well. I am looking at the vintage ones, but won't shy away from the new.

    As Scipio suggested, check out their website. Thomas (proprietor) is real nice.
