    Default My first three months of RAD

    This is how it started



    Awesome shaver.

    Got this as a cheapie to practise with

    Turns out it is a pretty damn good shaver, only problem is that it is a 7/8 which makes it too big for my personal preferences.

    Next was an excursion to Sheffield

    Rodgers and Sons 6/8 with ivory scales

    Then was a Wosty 4/8


    Both very good razors but for some reason I found the Solingen steel easier for me to shapren and keep an edge

    Then a quick sidetrip to the USSR for a Vostok 3 commemorative razor. Surprisingly for a Soviet made item it has a good edge and is a good shaver, but I did get it purely as a souvenir.


    Condition as received.

    Then back to Solingen, focus is now on art-deco styling.

    Wester Brothers AttaBoy. Great shaver



    S&B Pilot, made by an anonymous German manufacturer



    Scotland and Munro. Another re-branded from an anonymous German maker. Rescaled in faux tortiseshell



    Lothar Weber, "Weber's Gold" razor. Just a beautiful razor to look at and one of my best shavers. My absolute favourite so far.

    A Krusius brothers razor, with a Hill Lalin branding. Awesome shaver and that is real endangered sea creature shell on the handle.




    Also a G+F Adoration deluxe. Lightweight shave that is great for daily shaves but isn't great for 3 day growths.

    So Frenchy so Chic.
    No info on the maker, but the blade is a work of art. The scales will be replaced, but I will need to get a customiser.

    Well I did see a filly going for cheap on the bay and it has found a new home with me.



    Very good shaver, but I am having trouble seeing the excitement over these razors when Solingen and Sheffield shavers of equal quality sell for much cheaper.
