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.

Thanked: 4942I 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.

Thanked: 522Nessmuck - 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..............JERRY
OOOPS! Pass the styptic please.

Chck out their site
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.
