What's new

My New R. Austs

Some quick pics of my two, new R. Aust straights. Got a 6/8 Round and a 7/8 Square. The 6/8 round has some beautiful and intricate etching on the spine....very nice touch.

the 7/8 shaved very nicely....used it for shaves 9, 10 and 11 -- got DFS with it on #11 :) Couldn't believe how nice of a shave it was. I have a long way to go to get to BBS but for now, I am happy that these two are helping me on my way.
 
Congrats! I'm really enjoying my 6/8 Aust.

Do you mind saying where you got them? Did you get them straight from Aust?
 
I really feel like getting one of those, especially the one with the decorated spine. How do they compare to a dovo? Do they come shave ready?

I love my Ralf Aust 7/8 ... So much so that I'm hoping for another in Rosewood ..

My blade was shave ready with the Aust provided edge. If you buy from a vendor that provides honing, I cannot say. The edge, as provided by Herr Aust, is very nice!
