I've been looking for one for a long time! Had one in my gripes once, was outbid. Never again. Congrats!
NOS - DORKO Solingen DE.... Another shot... And lastly.... My NOS - DORKO Solingen DE arrived yesterday....I only own one DE that my brother sent me up from London...Its a Gillette New and its not my cup of tea...I find it to be very square and it rips my whiskers out by the roots....I saw this one and pressed the button because it was a nice German job made in Solingen....I like all things that are made in Germany....All my aftershaves & Aftershave Balms are German.....Ooops....The one above is made in the USA....I had a shave with the DORKO yesterday morning with a RAPIRA Platinum LUX Blade ....I found the DORKO to be on the Milder side of the spectrum, but it offered me a smooth comfortable follow up next day shave after my previous BBS result with a more Aggressive Personna 11 Floating head Injector... I will use the Wee German DORKO as a next day follow up shaver..... Billy

MIRAK the Miraculous Safety Razor with Miracle Blades..... And another shot.... And lastly... I got this in the post yesterday from the USA....The NOS MIRAK - The Miraculous Safety Razor was made in Bloomfield New Jersey USA by the International Safety Razor Corporation....It has its got two patent dates, July 1919 and June 1920 stamped on it....I done my research and this razor was apparently made for a 5 year period between 1920 - 1925.... During this period the International Safety Razor Corporation was the Biggest Razor Blade Manufacturer only second to the American Safety Razor Company and they worked very much hand in hand with a few court disputes thrown in at each other over various breaches of patents.... As you can see in the second photograph the Miraculous Safety Razor takes a propriety blade that is not currently available....This blade is actually shave ready, but I am planning to utilize the Spine to modify a Modern GEM Blade ....I will cut the GEM blade to the size of the propriety blade using the original spine... Hopefully I will end up with a Billyfergie Miraculous Blade.... Billy
