The Czechs

[Joker]

The new guy here.

I see you all talking about the German Murkers and I was wondering if the Czechs are doing any razors that are any good? They do very good work in other fields of machine work. I would think that this would be a natural for them.

I think Astra made safety razors as well as blades.

I whish they still did. I started out with an Astra TTO DE 2 decades ago; cheap, cheaply made but it performed very well for 15 years.
I do visit the Czech Republic every other year or so but all I find nowadays are russian made Astra blades, Wilkinson classic razors and now and then an old (tech like) Lord razor.
I would be interested too if someone came up with an all metal Czech DE; their engineering is usually far better than the prices of their products would suggest.

Just found another old czech safety razor company.
Soluna.

Just found another old czech safety razor company.
Soluna.

There is an Antique fair that i go to twice a month, the last couple of times i have been there, there was a guy from Belgium that had a mint looking Razor styled like a Fat handled tech but more fancy for sale for £20.00 i swear it had the name Soluna on the razor.....

It was more than i normally pay so i didn't get it, i am going again in 10 days so if it's there and i can haggle him down to say £12-15 i will get it, from what i remember it was nice condition & very shiny.
