Thread: Riga Razor 7/8 with Micarta Scales

Nice. If I was to get a new production razor, that would be it.

Is it made from his famed Tungsten steel?

Thanks Mark,
It's made from his Bohler steel, not tungsten.

Very nice razor Pete! Love that grind.

The Shave Report

Paired the razor with MDC Rose.
Did my usual three pass shave.

Truly an awesome "top 10" shave in all respects.

The razor feels very well balanced and surprisingly light on its feet.
It cut through my beard effortlessly and with buttery smoothness.
It handled perfectly.
BBS... without question.

The telltale sign was absolutely no sting at all with the alum after the shave.

Now I know what all the hype is about with these.
I'm more than impressed to say the least.
Riga Razor is the real deal.

Pete <:-}

Thanks for the report, I dont think theres anyone who hasnt been balled over by a Riga razor, truly remarkable.
Tungsten or Bohler, I dont think it makes a difference.

Absolutely love that grind, Pete! So glad to hear the blade shaves as well as she shows.

Balance is just perfect.

That's how the 10/8 was....Perfectly balanced.
Yeah, like Mark said. Is it the Tungsten blade.
The 10/8 was, and talk about hard, but what a shave once I got it dialed in on the hones.
I too will be looking to add one to the flock some day.
