I must confess that I do have razors as large and larger (even a Swedish one) topped by a wedge Rigarazor. What I never have had is a full bellied hollow with such a visible belly. It has intrigued me, and after the first shave it still does. The Böker Elite is what comes closest in my modest collection.
Brian Brown vs Koraat Razor

Nice. Did you pay for the extra hollowing Arne?
No It was in the package price. That's another interesting aspect. With this razor Koraat has a very strong answer to the offerings of Thiers Issard, Wacker and top of the line Aust and Böker razors. The reason to why I bought this one now was that I was able to squeeze it into the outer boundary of what I'm willing to pay for a razor. I really believe that Koraat has a winner here.
Oh, what I meant is that when you do a Custom 14-2, you can select an option to have the razor extra hollowed for $15.
I went for it just to see what it would be like.
I didn't see that one when I ordered. Anyhow I'd say that even without the extra option it is even thinner than the Filarmonica 14, that I guess it's inspired by. I do recall that the golden Koraat sign on the scale was extra though.
I'll let you know how the extra hollowed blade does. I'll probably compare it to my EPBD 14.
As an aside, I asked Ulrik if he had green transparent scales. He did not, but turns out he went out and ordered some.
I think the seafoam color looks great.
I think the seafoam color looks great.
Derek, I agree. Both the blue and the seafoam green are lovely.
Thinking one of these has to find its way into the quiver.
Beautiful razor Arne!
For those that didn't see them in the straight razor acquisition thread.
Thank you Bob. Despite the glamour of some of my razors I'm really found of the solemn look of black and silver.
Nice razors gentleman! I got my order in on Friday and that begins my 7 week wait. I’m going with the transperant red neon scales which should be nice.
ITS HERE FINALLY!
Ohhhh wow!! Thats a beauty!!
Thank you sir! Happy to get a Koraat finally and looking forward to tomorrow’s shave.
Stay tuned.
Drool! That’s a beautiful sight.
Beautious!
“Scary science fiction horror movie sharp”. This is it.
A quick and nimble Katana this is not.
This is Balmung. A broadsword of a blade having epic proportions. Huge, yet easy to manipulate. I love it. Workmanship is simply perfect. Balance spot on. And it looks good too. Save up. Buy one. If you are a Journeyman straight razor guy, this will immediately find its way to the top of your collection. If you do not posess Journeyman skills...wait a while. Your face will thank you.
