I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌
Edit: you obviously don’t have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣
All time favs:
1912 Single Edge Ever Ready
1940’s Double Edge Style Gillette Superspeed
Solingen 6/8th hollow grind vintage straight & a hefty old Sheffield wedge-ish
I would like a kamisori one day but haven’t bought any shaving gear in maybe a decade or so now.

I think yours is a Merkur 510c double edge safety raxor, not a model I’ve used but Merkur’s are awesome and I think I have DE Merkur head somewhere.
God I love coming across a comment from someone with a lot of niche knowledge. Godspeed

They look crazy nice
Yeah, not quite as shiny as Keith’s.
The GEM 1912 are pretty much the same razor afair, the 1914’s cool too.
Damn! You really know your razors! :D
It’s the shorter one, the 500, although, for some reason, I’m seeing the model name as “Progress”. Apparently it has been around since the 1950’s!

Nice, I’m a bit rusty of the models but I do tend prefer a short handle on a DE.
