Really a DORKO???
Hello gentlemen,
I've bought this razor at ebay, but don't know anything about it.
The auction ended yesterday and I think I'll receive it next week...
It seems that the script on the shell is Russian...

The blade says it's a dorko...proof enough for me.

The script is Greek, and the first line says "Greek"...

Also, you will find a lot of razors on eBay which have had the scales replaced for one reason or another. Either by a former owner of the razor, or seller. OR, it might have been marketed toward a certain group, so instead of making new blades, the scales are the next cheap thing to modify.
Also, versus the blade, those scales will not shave that well. SO, I'd be more concerned with the condition/make of the blade
Looks to be a 'Dorko'. Nice!

Looks like a Dorko to me as well. As Chris says, it is not uncommon for a razor to be re-handled. I have even seen current people selling new razors that are Bartmann with Gens handles and a variety of others. The guys over in germany are buying or finding blanks and then having to find scales for them.

Interesting! I wonder if it's some kind of issue or just a souvenier. Originally Posted by 19george
