Soviet Army DE razor

Just got it today. This is about 1980sh. It was given to all soviet military service men. At that time you had to serve 2 or 3 years depending on the type of military service. Aluminium handle and most likely head as well. Ikon handle.

Working for me!

I hope you get the pics to come up as it's a nice looking razor :tu

Those are cool. Is the white one plastic?

Interesting pair of razors. Certainly don't see too many of them over here, at least I haven't. The metal one reminds me of an old Gillette Tech and the bakelite case they came in. Nice compact set up.

Nice! Excellent photos!

Yes, some kind of plastic.

I remember such a razor. Well done pictures.

Pic #6. Shows typical soviet quality control . . . two different blade angles, gaps, etc. doubt it was planned that way. Nice score. I have an Officer's watch from an artillery (rocket) regiment that a friend picked up for me while on a contract job in Romania, before the fall of Ceaucescu.

Nice razor, who made it, and how do you like the way it shaves?

It was made by Moscow factory "Krasnaya Zvezda" ( red star). I have no idea how it shaves, haven't tried it yet. Maybe later.

How do you folk do that? I read that a lot. I can't imagine buying a razor and letting more than a day go by before I try it.
Cool looking razors, btw. Thanks for sharing!

Well, I couldn't even try all my straight razors, I would need to spend a few years just to do that :)) So DE would wait :)

This is another soviet DE razor, as promised. Part 1

This must be pretty light. It is neat to see weird razors like this.
