The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

I don’t know anything about WINOVA but the bolsters on those scales look familiar (as do the triple diamond pattern and raised circle pattern stamped on the tang...

 

Looks like Peter J Michels might have made some razors for others.
Anything written on e reverse side?

If yours shaves anything like mine you are going to be very happy

 

It looks like a German Razor manufacturer is making blades/scales for different razor companies. I know one thing, the scales on these razors are beautiful.

He always has beautiful razors and prices are always fair. I have him saved and alerts when he lists new items. I haven't been fortunate enough to purchase a razor from him yet.

 

Aye..His Prices are Usually Fair with Free Postage..I Got this for 76 British Pounds Posted..It was Just Listed..I Have Bought a Few Razors from Him..This One was Honed on a Naniwa Progression..I Will Put a Surgical Black Arkansas 20 K Finish on it when I Get it..

Billy..

 

So the surgical black Arkansas is equivalent to a 20k

 

Yeah..When Maxed Out with Oil ..I Finish All My Stainless Blades on My Arkansas Surgical Black..

Billy..

 

I love me some Surgical Black.

 

I need to look into getting one.

Is there a recommendation of who to buy from.

Just arrived yesterday ~ Millwaukee Barber Supply Ladwig in excellent condition.

I progressively honed it from 1k - 12k and then stropped on both pasted and leather strops.

Shaved with it this morning and it was like a hot knife through butter on my 3 day growth.

Just acquired this Puma and this Tanifuji Airi. My son suggested both razors. The Puma looks a bit rough and the blade shape on the Tanifuji is unusual. The Puma will be heading to GSSIXGUN for blade repair.

 

the prefect investment!

Two recent acquisitions- Tanifuji Airi and a Puma Solingen. The Puma is probably heading out for restoration, but the Tanifuji delivered the best straight shave I’ve ever experienced!
