    That is cool. I really like the contrast between the groves and the flats. Did Toby anodize the groves on the handle?

    Yes I agree. He anodized the grooves with a lighter color blue than he had been using. It should look good next to some of my brush handles. :)

    It is official. I am now awaiting the arrival of a Black Beauty, a generous gift from Don in South Florida (@Dzia Dzia ). It turns out to be my Rebirth Year razor. O4

    Thanks @RaZorBurn123. My birth year razor I posted about cost over the weekend. Got it for.... Oooh yeah you know. Much less than I expected and less than my max bid.

    Picked up a puck of Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica (Aromatic Fern) Shaving Soap off of eBay. I like fougre scents and SV is supposed to be just as good as MdC. Besides it was free shipping and less than retail. :)

    That's the problem with ordering new shave bowls...you end up needing to order stuff to fill them.

    Another shot....:)

    I just pressed the button on this Old NOS German Dorko DE....There was a flurry of bids thrown at it on the last five seconds but here it is....I got it from a UK Flea -Bay Seller for £15.00.... It has Dorko Solingen Germany on the box & Razierapparat Safety Razor No 10 P written on the bottom.....Other than that I know nothing
    about it except that I was attracted to it for some reason.....I don't know much about DE Razors....:sad027:
    I would be grateful for any information that you Guys may have to offer....:chores016:

    Dorko is primarily known for their straight razors, though they made DE razors and at least one model of shavette. Here's a picture of the shavette (not mine, this one is NOS).

    If I remember correctly, Dorko's were made in Germany for the Australian barber market.

    Great looking razor. It has a very Apolloish look to it I think

    Yeah, I just liked the look of it....Dorko made some seriously high quality straights and this Wee Thing just drew me ....Its not exactly breaking the Bank either & I haven't got a any DEs except a Gillette New that my brother sent me up from London....He said he didn't connect with it....Well it connected with me when it was pulling my Whiskers out by the Roots.....Horrible Wee Bugger ....:angry019:

    Be really careful if you sand on the brush. The aluminum is very thin and you can sand a hole thru it very quickly. Don't ask me how I know. ;)
