Some people even cut theirs off

Have fun !

Best regards

i might cut it off, i think its kind of ugly and takes beauty away from the blade.. =]

You rinse or wipe as you see fit, but you need to make sure it is dried properly and IMHO oiled when you store it till then next shave

Some people remove the black rubber because over time water gets under there and there is no way to dry that area and you will get corrosion there. Of course you can't see under it so you don't realize it until some point in the future when it tears or wears and then you see it.

Hello, vvti714:

The Bergischer Lowe is a gorgeous razor, especially for the way it sets the blade's gold etching and muted silver tone against the dark cherry scales. The Spanish point puts the perfect stamp on the razor.

I found the scales a touch too heavy for the small blade, throwing the razor off balance, but I did adjust to its personality.

Before long, the thin band, what I called the blasted mustache, on the shank started slipping back and forth. It became such a nuisance that I snipped it off carefully with a small pair of scissors. Never missed it.

As you've read, keep the blade clean and dry, since trying to remove water marks or other blemishes might be a risk to the lovely etching on the blade.

Most of all, if honed properly, your new razor is a great shaver. Congratulations. Enjoy it.

Regards,

Obie

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE HELP!

I love this razor, I just wish they make the 6/8, that'll be perfect

My BergischerLowe is the first razor with which I tried a "double bevel".
It worked great. It has since been honed with a single bevel and shaves great
either way.

I posted an other thread showing the other razor and brush i got in a bundle with this one!

how did it shave compared to a single bevel??

I have seen thousands of razor on the internet, in my personal opinion bergischer lowe is the best looking razor I've ever seen so far. first time I see that razor I was just blown away lookin at it. to me that is art master piece in razor. only if they would just make little bit wider, I'd be happier.
