I Had My 2nd Shave Today with My Soviet Made 5/8th..One WTG Pass on the Face & One ATG Pass on the Neck & a Dolphin Smooth BBS Result..Two Days of Whiskers Wiped Clean..My Picture above Represents a Typical Two Day Growth Pattern for Me..I have Cast Iron Whiskers & this Russian SR Swipes them Clean Like Butter..

This Russian SR has an Surgically Sharp Edge that is Quite Unique to this Very Hard Soviet Steel..It Feels Like a Very Thin Scalpel Like Edge & Feather Like Touch is all that is Required to Swipe the Whiskers Away with Long Strokes...A Top Notch Shaver for Sure..I Reckon I Might be Even Mistaken for a Bolshevik in that Photo..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

Was this picture before or after your stay in the gulag?

 

I Done My Motherland Apprentice on Sharpening Soviet SRs in the Gulag..

Here is a Short Vid on this Experienced SR Guys thoughts on Soviet Made SRs..He Holds the Grinds & Steel in High Regard..The Factory Grind on Mine is One of the Finest I have Seen on Any SR..There is a Quick Shave at the End..

Lovely Specimen's of Soviet SRs..Look NOS to Me..

Happy Honing Comrade..Have a Vodka..

Billy..

 

Looks real nice @mlys7884 . Looks like you picked up The "Red Fever". Those razors are right up my alley. I get into the shave, and history the razor, more than the looks.

 

got my USSR SR in the mail today.it was what i will call, mint condition so will hone tonight or tomorrow.any suggestions for a finishing stone? was thinking black ark, but since it is a very slow cutter and the steel is very hard that might take forever.

 

I have No Experience of Natural Stones..The Finishing Hone Shouldn't be an Issue Anyway as the Real Work is Setting the Bevel..In an NOS One You May have a Lot of Cutting to Do on the Bevel Hone..

Happy Honing Comrade..

Na zdarovya

this is soooooo hard. remind me of a gold dollar i bread knifed and honed on a 8k.took forever.only had a 8k and a 12k at that time.

 

Yeah..Just Take You're Time..Don't Try to Force it..I Wasn't Exaggerating about How Hard this Commie Steel is..Its a Challenge of You're Patience for Sure..No Bones about that..

Hone for the Motherland Comrade..

Billy..

 

I am absolutly positiv that this is a pice of a T-34

 

Da..The T 34 was the Best of Steel..You will be thinking its Hone Resistant..It Will get there..Take a Break & have a Russian Vodka as it Can Take Some Time.. A Solingen SR will be Like Honing a Beer Can After this..
