very cool bowl..

Sometimes I think you are single handedly keeping IB and Stirling in business

I don't except with the assistance of google translate - you might ask Member Сибирский товарищ @AlDm what it says.

Someones got to do it!

Thanks.

Origin unknown, "Fata" . Interesting head design.

very cool razor..

Saw the excellent price on those blades. Great score, Andrew.

I thought so. Not a typical Old Type clone.

is it your first one of this make/model?

Never heard of it, found nothing about it thus far. The Italian forum has no listing for it.

A president case and super speed I was the only bidder

From Connaught shaving.

I am waiting for an early 20th century Wostenholm straight razor and a Stirling order of their Bay Rum, Sandalwood and Piacenza scented soaps with the same scented aftershaves.

That is beautiful. Awesome find. Here's a crack at translating the seal:

ТОВАРИШЕСТВО ЮФТЕВАГО ЗАВОДА =PARTNERSHIP OF YUFTEVAGO PLANT
ВЛАДИМIРъ САВИНъ ОСТАШКОВ =VLADIMIR SAVIN OSTASHKOV

There's an interesting history here on the Ostashkov district and the Savin family. Translated from Russian by Google. Search for the words "the largest enterprise" for the section on this factory.

Really fascinating and I appreciate greatly the link and history. I just heard from the seller. It was his wife's grandfather's and apparently it's still pretty supple.

Thank you Jason. I was waffling a bit on the purchase(I really didn't need more blades) but those 7:00 greens are right up there with GSB's, Pol Silver SI, Nacets, and Perma-Sharp's for me. And the P-Lux is my favorite Moscow blade.

Clark single edge
Eagle single
Feather single

Not too shabby

Persona injector blades.
If any injector users are reading. Which are popular? Or rumored to be the Mack. Realizing that mileage may vary.
