Thread: New Revisor

I have a Revisor and it’s the bottom line model:
6/8

Nothing fancy but it’s a very nice shaver!!

A very good friend had a newer Revisor cross his stones and it impressed him, he told me that he’d like to purchase one and wanted to know if I’d be interested in also doing so.

Long story made short: his razor was available but mine was out of stock and we were told that it would be 7 weeks until it would be available the decision was made to wait. However less than a week or so later we were told that Revisor had held a special weekend production and that my razor would be on it’s way!!

Mine was Perfect! The factory edge wasn’t bad at all, with a little work on the hones it was a wonderful shaver!

My friends had a defect and when he returned it to Revisor for inspection and replacement it was ‘lost’! He hadn’t sent it tracked and insured as he felt that he was just throwing good money after bad!

To this day when I talk to him and mention how nice of a shave I got from my Revisor I feel guilty as if he hadn’t encouraged me to purchase it, I’d never have known the joy it gives!

Once you get to the Revisor Site, check out the NOS razors they have for sale (Rarities)! Get ready to dig deep for some shaving candy!

There only seems to be a few different 6/8 blades - the round tip, stainless round tip, square tip with stabilizer, square without, and French point. The rest seem to be variations of scales and etching. I'm sure your 6/8 is every bit as good as any other. I probably won't get a chance to use it until the weekend since I won't have time during the week to really evaluate the edge or do any work on it if it needs it. Tough situation with your friends razor - OUCH.

Congrats and good luck. I love this one, and it shaves GREAT

Nice looking razor! I am planning on having Santa swing by revisor this year for a special gift on account of me being such a good boy this year! Christmas in July for you though means you left December wide open! Smart!!

So OCD, are you on a razor-a-day plan or something?

Come on back with a shave update. With 7/8's of whisker wiping steel I'm sure it will be a memorable!

Very nice razor, use it in good health.

Lol! I was looking at the exact razor myself OCD...beat me to it! I hope you enjoy it, it looks like it will be a great one.

I'm sure they have another one just like it kicking around there for you.

Woke up a little late and under the gun this morning so I had no intention of trying to evaluate the shave readiness of this one under those circumstances. Later this week I'll give it a try but inaugural celebration may have to be postponed until its seen some honing over the weekend. Based on the current state of the bevel, it looks like it should be a straight forward job. I am not an expert so I have to evaluate these situations carefully.
