This Gabel #36 came in the mail today.
I spent about an hour cleaning, scrubbing and polishing, but I think it turned out pretty well.
It measures 11/16, and shows virtually no wear.. Not bad for less than ten bucks!

See, I told you guys nothing beats vintage Solingen razors from a bang-for-buck perspective. And this is a particularly nice specimen. Congratulations!

Oh man, that's a beaut. Congrats.
Looks good. Nice looking razor...Congratulations.
A very nice example of a 3 pin Solingen in near mint condition. Nice cleaning job, too. I could find nothing about Gabel in my books, but it looks to be about a 1970's vintage. Does anyone have more information about this brand?
Good to see a bargain can still be had. I have 5 razors now for a total cost of about £60 and all are now shave ready :)

Congrats on a great find at a great price. Nice job cleaning it up also. Now get 'er back in service and let us know how it shaves :)
Nice score! I think your going to like it!
Very interesting as I also own a gabel #36, only mine is a full singing 8/8 full hollow. it's one of my best shavers.
