Bartmann High Class 7/8 (15/16) NOS
I went to GrandDad's Antique Mall in Burlington, North Carolina today, knowing I shouldn't buy any more razors, but saw this beautiful Bartmann. I've seen forum, BST and ebay posts and wanted to try one. The razor blade was still coated in the packing grease and has the Bartmann Solingen tag attached and the pristine box. The number is 86. The edge can shave arm hair already, so I will just strop on linen and leather before I shave tomorrow morning. Compared to ebay prices I got a very good deal on this straight.

Congratulations! Bartmann's are among my favourite razors (I happen to own two, and no I'm not selling). And in nos condition as well !
I do prefer the 504s with the worked spine however.lindyhop66 likes this.

Thanks. I haven't seen many people post about the Bartmann and can't find much history. Glad to know there is someone else out there who enjoys them. Do you like the 504s for the look of the spine or the feel of the razor in your hand? Photo?

I go for the looks, definitely. Not that it doesn't feel right in the hand, but most of my razors feel right, it's the looks that make the difference.
Also, all the Bartmann's I got my hands on were really easy to sharpen and took a perfect edge.lindyhop66 likes this.
