Thanked: 94My 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.

Thanked: 94Next 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

Thanked: 94Then 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.

Thanked: 94Then 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.

Thanked: 94A 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.

Thanked: 94So 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.

Thanked: 94Well 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.
