What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

A wonderful shave, by a little known manufacturer(to me anyway). I had a perfectly smooth, and precise 2 pass shave, no touch-ups, that left me BBS. Very nice razor. Very hard and sharp Silver Steel.

Razor- Gebr.Becker. "Silver Steel". Solingen Germany.
Brush- J.R.#262(@Jayaruh ). Ebony/Birdseye Maple. Whipped Dog Silvertip Badger
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented. Pairs nicely with the Aftershave.
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Country Vendor Decanter.

 

Sent this message to the seller:
You might want to consider revising your stated condition of this broken, trashed razor.
His response:
You might want to move along and mind your own damn business
My response:
On my way. Good luck with the sale.

 

That’s a beauty Scott!

 

Gebr Becker were a Well Known Cutlery, Knife & Razor Maker..This German SA Dagger was Made by them..I Have One..A Dagger the Same as this One that is..

Billy..

 

Nice Dagger.
Any timeframe for them, and their manufacturing??

 

Thanks.
Previously owned be J.J.Thomas. At least that is what was scratched into the scales.

 

I offered $5. The scales looked nice.

 

That is a smoking deal for a razor that has been customized to shave around moles.

 

I have been saving the SK3 for Friday, since this is smiling razor week and this razor has the perfect amount of smile for me.

 

I know!!! He should be selling the scales.
BTW, just got off the phone with Ebay. Reported the scoundrel.

 

Someone silly enough to buy it, and pay that much money, wont get much sympathy from me.
But, the scales look nice.

 

I actually have an empty vintage Red Point box in good condition. He can have it for $275.

 

Heck, at that price I’d throw in the razor, which is quite good.

 

Good! I know they can't catch every ludicrous post, but that one needs to be revised to selling the scales. I have scratched my head on ads for every day items at list prices of many thousands of dollars. I guess some people have super sized brass ones and I am not talking about knuckles.

I’m going with Joseph Feist as the maker

One of my favorites... just a pleasure to use.

Enjoy your shave.

Boker Wiener Schaber and basic black Robert Klass

Two new toys, a lot of stropping, then just a quick shave test on the neck. Passed with flying colors, but room for improvement on the factory edges.

 

Some great looking blades gentlemen.
