Another Fasan DE razor

[Jake]

I have a particular fondness for the Fasan -- pre-WWII German made -- DE razors. You can see my previous thread here. And I recently acquired another mint Fasan slant, in a very attractive Bakelite case.

Great translucent marbled case. Adds class to this simple razor.

It's one of the archetypal slant razors. Fasans are light in weight but designed to provide a really close, comfortable shaves. Too bad you can't find these more easily -- they are classy vintage sets and remarkable shavers.

Jake,
How sturdy are these? Also, aren't they pretty light and doesn't that throw off your technique?

The Fasan is very light weight but -- like the aluminum Rockets -- it just requires a bit more finesse in the technique. It really does the job quite well. And as for the tardis, if you can digitize yourself and upload the digits to my gallery, I'll leave the tardis there for you.

They are awesome. Pretty severe twist on the blade, too. Wonderful razor.
