Thread: New Guliver

Got this one in the other day.
Paul Waldmin - "Guliver" made in Solingen
Virtually no honeware seen under the loupe hence I'm thinking it might be nos.
I googled and looked in the library and found hardly anything.
Take a peek:







If anyone has any info on these I'd love to hear about it.
If not, I'm happy to have it for in the mid twenty dollar range.

25.00... Very nice. 3 pins. I avoid even looking for additional razors, but I would have had to pick that up if I stumbled upon it. Your score made my day, nice living life vicariously.

I would be pretty happy to have picked that up too. There used to be a lot of mint and NOS razors around for very little moola, but they have dwindled a lot as of late.

Nice razor. Looks to have some of the period hone wear?
Seems a great shaver.

I could advise to tape the spine, but I won't.

That is how those tape threads take over.

I think what you might be seeing is a lot of reflection with a crappy cell phone camera.
The edge of the spine that would show honeware is a perfect apex that isn't flattened from wear at all. Under magnification, there is a tiny bit of scuffing. I suspect that is from when the factory edge was honed.

In the picture, the razor is honed. I used a Naniwa Chosera 1k, Shapton glass 4k, 8k and 16k then finished on a Hohenzollern Abziehsteine

As always, one layer of tape. (Don't want to start the tape thing either.)

Well, get it on, then!
