Thread: The Revisor is Here!

How's the goldwash on it now Jim? Gorgeous looking razor by the way. Everything went into that design is remarkable. Isn't too ostentatious either. Very nice!

I know it's unrelated but somewhat related my Dovo Best scales are misaligned. It's loose on the pivot but I haven't tried hammering light to rectify it. It doesn't affect the shave in the least so long as I've tang firm grasp. It's still great shaver nonetheless. :Beer:

Are imperfections that common? Bah it's hand made razor and it's not shoddy so who am I to spew my carcass?

Thanks

Hey Ivan,

The gold wash has held up fine...surprisingly!

I had forgotten about this thread. I contacted Revisor about the issues and they were very very helpful, and are compensating me for the errors. The problems are very minor, and the response was extremely satisfactory...so I'm happy!

Missed this post but that is a beautiful looking SR.

Jim

New razor looks really good! Am a big fan of shoulderless razors myself! Looks like a keeper! Hope you enjoy it!

Here is my Revisor. I got lucky and picked it up on ebay months ago at a reasonable price. Thomas is a very nice fellow to deal with and it is a heck of a good shaver. Full hollow HC steel and like JimR's came shave ready but not as shave ready as I like. It honed up easily and shaves nicely.

Jimmy I don't have any 8/8. How's the balance in general? That scale looks menacing. Very nice btw!

I suppose this is similar to 8-0003 or 8-0012 ( more like 8-0012 )

When you honed it, did you use 4 or 8k followed by finisher or was it not necessary?

Thanks

Jimmy wow man
you have got something special in there

This thread just popped up and I can comment on my Revisor and ask JimR a question:

I have a new Revisor, about two month's old now. Like JimR my first shave with it was less than fantastic. This turns out to have been my mistake. I overlooked the advice in the email I received from Revisor telling me it needed to be stropped before the first use. As a fairly new straight shaver I have had limited experience with "shave-ready" razors and the ones I have (except now the Revisor) all came with the advice to NOT strop it before the first use.

Once I stropped it, it shaved beautifully! It actually seems to be getting better with use, but I think that may be because I have adjusted my technique to match the razor a little better. It is now one of my two favorites.

Question for JimR -- now that you have had your Revisor for a bit what is your impression of its "shaveability"?

That's a dandy of a razor there jim.. You always seem to have something (be it japanese or otherwise) that makes me jealous.

Bob who advised you not to strop your razor? That's odd mate.
Though I don't have a Revisor, I can tell you that when I got my Custom Livi, the shave wasn't pleasant as I'd hoped. It was only after stropping that it provided nice shave.
