    Does anyone who knows more about Soviet era razors possibly know what this is. I assume it is most likely 60s and that is it. It is like a long handle knockoff of a British Gillette Aristocrat Jr base plate and Schick Krona styled doors. The Gillette Rocket styled adjustment is towards the top of the razor and the combs look like later 60s open comb 3pc tech styling.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about them, but it looks like a great razor.

    It does, that is the main reason I bought it. More on how it shaves in another post.

    Nice looking razor. I don't know anything about it except that the handle is too long for me.

    Soviet razors are easily identified.

    If you have the box.

    If not... :rolleyes:

    As I suspected the shave is pretty mild on this razor somewhere between an Aristocrat Jr and Krona. Definitely better than a Krona, Krona's are mild but rough this is a lot smoother like an Aristocrat Jr but same type of feel as a Krona. The verdict is still out on better than an Aristocrat Jr. Couple of hours and I'll be able to better answer that.

    RyX DoH!

    Closest to an expert on all things Russian? I'd ask Neal @NCoxSTL .
    He owns several of their DE razors. There are a couple Russian TSD members around, maybe @AlDm.

    I am going with a smoother Krona like shave as my description of how it performs. If someone wanted a heaver longer handle Krona like razor then this would be it.
