Italian Job

hi Guys,

Just thought you may be interested in seeing this unusual Italian razor that I picked up.

It was in a bit of a state when I found but looks pretty good now.

I'd say possibly 1930s and it has a really fat and heavy handle.

Make is Radar Rositaio (I think)

Anyone seen anything similar?

I've never seen anything like it, but it sure does look nice.

Is that one of your fabled replate jobs or did you manage to clean it up that well?

Never seen one like that... But it is pretty sweet looking.

Thats a cool looking razor!

Another Beauty!!! How does it shave?

That is one sweet looking razor.

Shave results please!!

Hi Drew,

Yes, it's replated - when I found it it was green with corrosion..

I'm going to give it a try tomorrow - I would imagine from the head design that it'll be similar to a Gillette Old Type, but we'll see..

Very nice. Looks like brand new now. And I don't care about the "reduction in value of a vintage razor"

very nice!

That is a real beauty! Lets hope it shaves as great as it looks.

Very nice!

Bravo!!

Nice razor brother!

Sweet find...I think that razor would pair well with some Proraso!

+1, a great Italian razor deserves a great Italian cream.

Wow, never seen one of those. Nice!

Nice. All you need now is a Bolzano blade, proraso cream and splash for an all Italian affair.

Nice looking razor!
