New Bismarck..!

Nice! Like it! I just love the shape of the blade, its totally unlike anything else really.

I love my Bismarck too! Great razor, having come from learning on lighter pieces, it took a couple days to get used to the heavier weight.

You have got a great razor, Stubear!

I've got the same black Bismark and it's scary sharp. I underestimated it's abilities and the result was I nicked myself about the lips somewhat deep. Now I look like I was trying to widen my smile haha

Bought it in new condition, originally sealed by Dovo, sharpened by Dovo etc... I think I had a great luck with this razor because it came really shave ready out of the box. I know that happens rarely with new razor. I couldnt believe but it was true, it was seriously sharp and it took my tough beard with great ease. Can't wait to shave with it again

Beautiful with any scales...

I've got the same, one of my favourites- preety heavy, but that helps me to avoid nicks- you can't be in rush.

I've had my eye on the Bismark for a year now, but your pictures, Stubear, have my wallet trembling! That really is a thing of beauty - I like the spine work and the shoulderless design - looks real classy.

I offer you a hearty "You Suck" meant with the greenest of envy.

Eyes on one for a year??? What are you waiting for, the price to go up?? Not only does it look good but it shaves with the best of 'em...and I've tried/owned a few. It also seems to sharpen up easily too...buy with confidence. Good shaving.

I just got the same black bismarck from Don and Lynn. I love Bismarcks. The black scales with the pearlex inlay just set it off, as does the gold work. As far as what to buy next, I'm looking at the Boker 7/8th's, The Celebrated. I found it for 239.00
Congrats to you, excellent choice....

Have fun, man.

I have the red model, shaves really nicely. I would personally say she's a bit over full hollow, as the Bismarck is a bit beefier than most of my other hollows, particuarly Dubl Ducks.

My one and only complaint (as some readers may remember from a while ago) is the finely notched spine; looks stunning but I found without tape it scratches the hell out of my latigo strop. I do remember other members saying that their Bismarcks did not do this, so I must have a "special" one. Hopefully yours provides many years of great service!

Congrats!
