I love those translucent/green scales and the gold lettering. Absolutely gorgeous! Is there any goldwash on the blade, or is it all a reflection from the bowl?

The letters are actually silver. It's just a reflection on the blade too. The razor has the green scales and everything else is silver. It was hard to get the lighting right so that the translucent nature of the scales could be highlighted.

Here are some pics from someone else's Otto Deutsch Hans razor:

Results: ..... The M&F brush is huge, but I really love this size brush now ................

Robert, this Mothers&Fathers is as huge that I thought that your kikuteru was a 5/8 or less

That is one beautiful razor, too. The silver just shines for miles! Is that Sterling or a stainless inlay?

[QUOTE=tumtatty;808257]Let me introduce you to my friend Hans...Otto Deutsch Hans. I recently acquired him on ebay. It was the first time I saw a razor and had to have it no matter the cost because it was a thing of beauty. Being new to straights I'd never heard of Otto Deutsch before, but let me tell you I will never forget that name now! I want to grab every man who shaves with a modern multi-blade razor and shake him. "Do you feel like a million bucks after you shave?" "Do you look forward to shaving everyday and take extra time to do it?"
Because baby, I do!!

I think this is the closest shave I've ever had! Best part is, I restored the blade, scales and honed it myself! All I've got are the Norton stones and a cheap Chinese 12k from Woodcraft, but this razor took an edge like none I've ever encountered.

The soap I used as from the Beer Soap company (Sam Adams Double Bock and Bay Rum...2 of my favorites!). It was not a performer though. By the time I lathered up and finished the first pass on my cheeks, my neck had dried and the suds were gone...oh well. Hans had no trouble with the stubble anyhow.:

I finished up with my favorite Bay Rum variety of aftershave and cologne: Burts Bees.

Awesome! Congrats! They are very beautiful razors. Even better is that you restored her and honed her up yourself. Great job.
