My 8/8 Revisor finally came in!

[thanks]

Nevermind the giant fingerprint smudge and the blurry cell phone pic;

Will be stropping her on my new Hess Hair Milk Lab strop, usual TM latigo, and then first shave... tomorrow. I shaved this morning like an idiot!

That's the prettiest thing I've seen since I was at the beach last summer!

What's the story? Freshly restored?

Thanks! It's a brand new razor, actually. Revisor has been revived; http://revisor-solingen.de/html/8_8_0.html

That's a link to their 8/8 sized blades, but they also sell 6/8, 5/8, and 4/8. They do have a section of the website dedicated to restores as well.

She's a beaut!

I didn't know about that! Brand new 8/8 razors, huh?

You'd think a guy like me, who picked up a Dubl Duck, and a civil war-era meat chopper just a week ago (a really really good day at the antique stores!) would know not to look...

Nice!

 

[thanks]

Thanks gents! Tried it out today and it's smooth as silk. The new Revisor's are excellent blades.

What a beauty!

Very nice razor. Great to know it gives smooth shaves.

Now THAT is a pretty razor. Looks like Revisor has got some very nice products in their line. <Sigh> i can see my wallet getting thinner in the future......

 

[honed]

That is one fine piece of steel!
Congratulations!

OMG. Totally.

I am on this like white on rice. So much for my budget....

Not to further enable, but the prices on the website include VAT taxes which don't apply to us Yanks if we order. Subtract 19% from all prices on the site.

I ordered that very same model a day or so ago. Now comes the waiting.....

Patently ludicrous justification: "But my Williams 8/8 was getting lonely, what with being the only one as large as it and all. Inanimate objects have feelings too, you know?"

Enjoy!
Verrry nice...
The Hess milk strop is also a kool addition too.

 

[Geo Dude]

That looks pretty nice! Based on your comment which didn't mention honing, I have to ask, do these actually come shave-ready from the factory or did you have to hone it to get it ready?

I just picked my jaw off the floor. Dang, what a nice looking razor. One day, I tell myself, one day...

 

[mdunn]

very nice - a crown jewel indeed!

 

[thanks]

Thanks again Gents!

Not only did it come honed from the factory, but it was the best edge I'd received from someone. Recently I took it to a 12k, and the thing was almost too sharp! Definitely smooth as well. To me, it's like Dovo made an 8/8.

Very nice razor
