New Revisor model

For those fans of Revisor, looks like they've released a new model 6-0000.

Pretty handsome razor for sure!

Wow. thanks, I just added that one to my list.

It has an interesting point there. Almost like a slight barber's notch.

Revisor describes it as a spanish point.

Love spanish points. Very clean and simple look to that razor.

I shave with a stainless Revisor 6/8 every day. I'm a big fan. It's fantastic.

Totally cool! I want one!

**Wid** · 09-15-2011, 04:58 PM

Very nice.

Thanks for sharing! A beautiful razor.

I have three Revisors:
5/8 5-0003 Solingen Extra in blue
5/8 5-0004 Solingen Extra in red
6/8 6-0029 Prima Solingen

While all three razors are excellent, the 6-0029 is exceptional and in a class all its own. It can get me 95% towards a BBS with one WTG pass. Other than decoration, the new 6-000 blade seems to have the same structural appearance as the 6-0029.

The quality of workmanship of Revisor razors is superb and dealing with Herr Thomas Kronenberg is a very pleasant experience.

For my tastes, Revisor has some of the most beautiful razors currently available in the marketplace. If I were wealthy, I would build a straight razor collection consisting of one each of every 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, and 8/8 Revisor model available. They are truly works of art.

At the minimum, one could build a wonderful 7-day set with seven different models thus experiencing a variety of sizes and styles. Based upon my direct experience, I am sold on Revisors.

Yeah they are really beautiful. I have two of them, and one of them is what I use every day. It doesn't seem like I need to hone it. It's really beautiful.

YEs he is. It's cool to get a package that is hand-address by him. How much in today's world can you buy a product (any product) and buy it directly from the guy who made it? I think it's a wonderful thing.

Ditto.

I haven't seen a Revisor yet that I don't like.

Hey Guys,

I am having trouble getting in touch with Thomas Kronenberg / Revisor. I sent him a mail twice ([email protected]) but did not received a response. Is there another way to get in touch?

Thanks!

That's the email I used.

**dakotaev** · 09-27-2011, 07:55 AM

How long ago did you send the email? It took me a few days to get a response, but its well worth the wait. I'm sure with that lineup Thomas must be busy! ;)

Just ordered this new model. Being my first Revisor, does anyone know if the blade leaves the factory "shave ready", or will I need to send it away to be honed independently?

I've heard some comes decently honed, but I wouldn't count on it. The one in the picture haven't seen a hone.
You should really start honing David, takes the straight fun to a whole new level!

Blix, my plans are to start learning to hone in the very, very near future.

Music to my ears!

Sooo, what system are you looking at, Naniwa, Norton, JNats, cotis, Shaptons or everything?

**Wid** · 09-27-2011, 01:23 PM

Mine was not shave ready when I got it. It didn't take to much to get it that way though.

Blix, Been looking around. The Invisible edge, here in the UK, has Naniwa on sale in a range of Grit from 1K to 12K. I know absolutely nothing about honing, hence the delay.
