Thread: Gotta Super Fine 120

I think those GOTTA 120's were a variation of the bellied hollow. The blade is a bit thicker near the edge.

They're great razors.

Wow, that is a very nice razor! Good luck to you.

Thanks for your input guys, appreciated.

The blade has a little flex in it but so does my other full hollow but it does make a bit of a ring when flicking the end of the round point.

So still not sure on the extra full hollow or not but it does seem thinner somehow when shaving with it and gave a superior shave. But that could be as it is freshly honed and I am perfecting my honing abilities.

I will not worry about it too much and just accept that it is a great shaver to add to my small rotation!

Gotta 120 is one that never leaves the rotation.. Mine has a worn toe and a cracked scaled, but the shave is still superb so I can't move it down the bench... I am always loooking for a replacement, but they always jump in price at the last minute.

Well it seems that I may have got a bit of a bargain then at $25.00NZ, $20.50US at today’s rate.

I do not think the women behind the counter of the antique shop had much of an idea on the razors worth or demand. When she told me the price I tried to keep a straight face (excuse the pun) and handed over the cash.

Would anyone know what the scale material would be and approximately it's year of manufacture?

Thanks.

Probably celluloid. The "finest Sheffield Steel"., "made and ground in Germany" makes me think pre WWII but I'm not sure. Neil Miller or manah might be able to tell you for sure. There was a period of time where those were touted selling points for German razors.

I have one as well, it's a nice razor unfortunately the scales have a crack at the pin and it''s a bit loose would like to replace the scales with original ones, but haven't come across any yet.

Here's one i just got. almost 8/8
