NEW Ralf Aust 121NPKS-R - 6/8" Round Point, Black Synthetic Handle, Professionally Honed Straight Razor

Just Tremendous

I just got back into straight razor shaving after about 5 years (small children). The Dovo Inox I got shortly before stopping just wasn't cutting it (no pun intended). So I decided to try this one. It is brilliant. Straight out of the box with a simple stropping and suddenly it was like I had never stopped. Beautiful blade- the weight of the 6/8 is nice, and the tang is perfectly curved for a pinky. Fit, finish and assembly were perfect. The only regret I have is the plastic scales. They are perfectly nice plastic scales. But it's almost a shame to have this gorgeous, elegant steel reminder of a bygone era fold into plastic.
