    Default "SPECIAL " RUSSIAN RAZOR

    This is SRP member MODINE'S RAZOR.
    i have not touch to it . it is basically new blade and has been honed to shave ready level by Mike.
    it is so ready that i wanted to cut my arm hair for sharpness but it cut my skin.
    Mike said it was PITA TO hone this blade and he has used almost every single hone no his position to get this blade to shave ready.
    I tried to day 60 laps on an escher and escher did 000 work none.
    Anyway he liked so much he wants another one.
    In fact i do really love how they shave. They may doesn't look like fancy but really some special steel
    this is the pictures and instructions inside box.
    Thank you Mike for sharing with SRP members.

    Thank you for taking this picture and posting for me Sham, this is an unusual steel and difficult to hone. I was hoping if could also post the Cyrillic instructions that were hidden in the razors case. Others might find that interesting. BTW This is a beautiful shaver.

    In my opinion about everything that Soviet made for export was excellent quality. I have some experience not only from razors but optics as well.
    What they made for their domestic market was 'not so good quality'.

    That razor is as ugly as sin dipped in misery. Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
