Walleye fishing on Lake Erie was wonderful the last couple of days. We didn't limit, but caught big fish. Had a blast.

Dave,
Nice shaving kit, beautiful photos and nothing can beat Walleye for good eating.

Thanks! Walleye is the best.

The factory steel products (STIZ)
СТИЗ (STIZ) – СТальных (STeel) ИЗделий (products)

Location: Moscow, underground station “Electrozavodskaya”

Trademarks: STIZ, UNION, Dawn, Mars, Capital, East, Spartacus (Spartac)

Enterprise was created in the postwar years with the technology base copied from the German workplace, with working staff who had been taken away from the Nizhny Novgorod province.
Product included: knifes, multi-tools (split folding spoon-fork set-knife), and straight razors from the 1950s to the 1990s. Collapsed at about the mid-1990s, now on its place stands shopping mall.

Your razor was manufactured in 1955 (USSR razor always stamped with a year of production). And I heard that after 1955 quality of steel which was used in USSR razors very reduced so you are lucky

thanks some great info that i didnt know! I knew a bit about my spartak, my comment was towards my Gilette DE. but thanks! I learned a few more things about my comarade

I use a little piece of Blu Tac behind my razors to make them stand up, but I've used it so many times it's not real sticky. So the razor kept falling over. Further to that, the scales have loosened a little, so when I was positioning it the blade fell on my thumb. The cut is surprisingly fine.
