Default F.S. 6/8th Round Point, Diamondine No7, M.E. Reppenhagen Germany

OK the time has come; the budget for purchasing/restoring razors has run out so I must replenish the pool of funds… thus says the wife/accountant (and the angel that no one else can see sitting on my shoulder).

This is a 6/8th round point Hollow Ground blade with jimps on the bottom of the tang. Polished face and edge, thin bevel, hone wear on the spine is about .5mm or less.
The blade’s gently swayed spine is almost 1/4 inch thick with a smiling edge to match. This razor has “ring” when stropped or plucked and though it’s hollow ground, it has a stiff grind with “heft” and will tackle the rough of whiskers.

This razor was at one point in its life rescaled with white ABS plastic scales but the pin job was bad, so I re-pinned with solid brass pins. The scales are not perfect; they have a few imperfections here and there but they are un-warped, look decent and hold the blade firmly with even friction all around and centers when closed.

In my experience, razors with the Diamondine Trade Mark are always good shavers but the shave from this razor is great, she silently cut whiskers for an irritation free BBS face… however please see my guarantee/warranty.

Warranty:
Along with this razor you get three (3) free “whenever” honing… that means: - I will re-hone her up to three consecutive times at no charge whenever she starts pulling and stropping does not help (you only pay shipping both ways).
Now I realize my beard and yours may be different and you may not get a comfortable shave from this razor so; If for any reason you don’t enjoy the shave, or she’s just not working out for you, simply return her within 7 days for a no questions asked full refund (including shipping)… seriously, I would gladly take her back.

I am asking $45 for her and will ship free to any destination on the planet… however shipping “off planet” will be extra.

A warranty doesn't get any better than that! And the razor is great!

Too bad I was too late finding it. =(

Nice snag!
Very nice warranty!
Excellent value with the three honings for a newbie or someone that does not want to be bothered with honing.
