Description
Another new addition to our range of Ralf Aust razors this 7/8 version has a carbon steel satin finished blade and is set off by some stunning horn scales. The spine is plain with jimping to the upper and lower tang. It has the usual “Ralf Aust Solingen” mark on the tang and the “Solingen Handarbeit” – handmade in Solingen – mark on the blade.
This razor is for a more experienced straight razor user looking for a large razor with some weight to it.
This blade has a form of a Spanish point to it. It is, however, slightly more of a wave shape than a crescent than is found on razors from some other manufacturers. Ralf Aust is currently using horn which is predominantly black with flecks or flashes of whites and greys. As with all natural products, colouring varies from one razor to the next and you are not necessarily purchasing the razor shown in the images.
The scales on these razors are in the traditional style. They are highly polished to show off the horn’s colouring to its best advantage. All Ralf Aust razors have a full hollow ground blade.
SHAVE READY – Unlike some retailers, our razors are not supplied as they come from the factory. We individually prepare all the razors we sell. For full details see our policy.
