FS: Rudolf Schmidt Bambola no. 205 **SOLD**

SOLD.

NOS Rudolf Schmidt Bambola no. 205
Schmidt opened in 1883 and registered the Bambola series in Berlin in 1922. This specific razor is from the late 1970s. This Bambola razor was made for the Italian market so all the paperwork is in Italian. One paper is a certificate of guarantee that ensures the quality of the razor; one details the proper use and care of the razor, including a recommendation to use Russian leather strop; and the last paper that other razor makers were copying Schmidt razors so the company registered the "IL VERO RASOJO ANTISETTICO 205" name in the Berlin Patent Office, which is now the European Patent Office. These are very high quality razors, on par with Fritz Bracht, Schulze, Carl Rader, Weyersberg, et al. They're smooth shavers and will not disappoint.

One razor is in mint condition and the other inexplicably has surface rust on the edge. I'm selling the mint one here for $155 shipped. For reference, compare my price to the NOS vintage razors at this vendor's site.
