The Royal Razor in that condition .But the second razor is not far behind .
I cannot wait to use the royal razor. It is just gorgeous. I am so glad I have it. But I want more japanese razors.
My Royal Razor is one of my favorite Japanese blades .They have just awesome steel and grinding .You will not be disappointed.
Mine is a No 1
Mine has solid black scales.
Ok. This is the first royal razor and I'm thinking it wont be the last.
Henckels Friodur 14 ... on the way !
NOS Wapienca SFK RASIERMESSER MIT METALLSCHALEN
Notice that the straight razor is completely sealed in a thick plastic envelope (see picture nr 3) and covered in protective grease. I bet you can store it in the ground and it will be ready to use for generations to come. I will not open it any time soon, it is my 4th Wapienca straight. They are very nice shavers, heavy grind and very good steel, I like them a lot.

Very, Very Cool! I especially love the Stainless/Aluminum scales. I have a couple razors with scales like this, both are Bismarck razors. What a tresure!
Wapis have such a good reputation that they have become hard to stumble upon

It was a lucky find. The Wapi was only 50 lei (10.37 euro) + 30 lei (6.22 euro) shipping.
Stopped in to one of my honey holes this afternoon, after voting and found this cute 5/8 covered tang Fairy Razor, by Peter Ludwig Schmitt, Elberfeld-Solingen. Some of the writing was rubbed off, but after a lot of digging the back side says, “XX real german made Mark and hollow ground.” The scales are imitation ivory, but the tang appears to be true ivory, it is much more fine and white than the scales.

Company still in operation under another name. I bet it is 1920’s-30
Should hone up well, feels great in the hand!

Really jealous of that covered tang. My next straight purchase will have a covered tang or a worked/etched spine, I think. The rest of the razor is nice too, lol
