    Default Diamond Blue Razors- Germany

    I bought two Blue diamond razors from Germany and had them cleaned up nicely in England., I intend to keep one. I was attracted to the handle when I saw it, I had to have them because I was a lucky find.
    The bigger one happen to be close to a 5/8 and the smaller one is mostly a 4/8. I will keep the 4/8.

    Click on the "like" if you like this razor!
    Thanks for having a look.
    George

    It's a 6/8 "Extra Feiner Hohlschliff"
    It's extremely thin and light but takes a wicked edge.

    I would have been tempted had you kept the etching on the blade and the really nice patina, but you can't have it all!

    As it is, I really like just using a super high grit sandpaper (2k then 4k) to get rid of the little bit of rust yet keep the patina and the etching. Then I hone 'em up and shave with them. Some like 'em shiny, I like the vintage look!

    But hey, all things considered, those are beautiful blades. Good luck!
    "Charlotte meetup," lets shoot for April 13-14 or 20-21. What say you? PM me to get the ball rolling! And may your face always be BBS!

    The etching was nice, but it was very cloudy so the best option was to go for a nice polish look which worked well with these blades!
