    Nice collection, I like the Wizamet W-10, Ive been looking for one of those, how does it shave?

    I like the shave on Wizamet Junior P-1, I have one and its a great shaver for such a light weight and cheap razor its hard to beat

    All I can say is you have the Wet Shaving Bug big-time. I too get bit by the Collector Species of Bugs now and then. There seems to be no cure, so enjoy it while you have it. :>)

    I will try to calculate what I have paid but I am sure that I've spend less than 25% of it's real value :)


    And that's a good point as I have some idea of starting some kind of Gentleman's Club with museum, shop, crafted beer, some workhsop spots and ofcourse - a barber :)


    I just need to sort out few things (like new job, wedding - both in just a couple of weeks) and then I will organize some kind of PIF :) For sure with some PL razors


    If you would ask this question after 28th of May - mine answer would be different than today's :)


    At least not for now. I would like to spend some time with revamping them.


    You are right with GII and Atras :)
    And there is still a lot of razors on my wishlist, lot!


    :) :) :) :) :D :D


    I was scared at the beginning as well when I have seen guys showing razors for >300$. So don;t worry ;)


    For sure! I have blades for these beauties as well :) I AM READY!


    The biggest problem with old Polish razors was the quality. And especially - the heads. It's sometimes so un-even that I would be scared to shave with it.
    But if you find good example - then these are pretty good shavers. P-1 is very light - made from aluminum, W-10 is as well fully metal - but not aluminum - which means - much heavier. However - I think that P-1 with even head is better shaver that W-10 and W-11


    Oh yeah, I am enjoying it ;)


    This is what my Polish fellows are telling as well :) But the truth is that I am always paying less than the value.


    But there are still so many beauties I need to gather! :)


    Yes, Lux Nierdzewny is Polish all stainless steel razor. But it's the same as with other PL old razors - there were some problems with the head eveness. But if you find a good example (which is not so hard to do) it's a pretty efficient shaver :)

    I know what you mean with the quality on Polish razor mainly the TTO heads, I had several of those in the past, and like you I found the P-1 to be the better shaver.

    whew... and I was sort of feeling quilty for acquiring 7 razors, 2 brushes and bunch of palmolives,niveas, OS, lavender bulgarian creams ( creams were dirt cheap so I went for it) so far, but very soon to be 10 razors for sure lol. It would take me years!!! to achieve this, and look at you all of this in 1 year, nice :)
