6/8 ERN Ator - One of the best Solingen razors I've come across

Wow, considering how good these razors are there sure aren't many replies here.

One of my best razors, 5/8 ERN Master

A matching pair, rescaled in Padauk...

**Doc226** · 12-16-2011, 06:13 PM

I just restored this one, micarta scales with micarta wedge.

**mdunn** · 12-19-2011, 03:42 PM

My ATOR, what a great shaver!

**cj121** · 12-20-2011, 01:54 PM

Here's my first time posting up any of my razors, and what a good excuse to do so : )
My one and only Ator in blonde scales. Always a decent shave off this ol' girl.

Interesting! That's the same razor I posted photos of above the S 525 "10 Year Guarantee" but in German, I believe. They must have produced versions in different languages for export.

**zhaith** · 01-11-2012, 09:37 AM

Hi, here's one I have. Is it old? I can't find any info on it.

**1Speedster** · 01-13-2012, 09:30 AM

Those Padauk scales are sick; love that red!

I have this same razor with the original scales (I think) - I'll post picks soon. I want to love it, and I've done just about all I can too love it, I have cleaned it, honed it etc.. But I can't get a good shave with it! ARG. I was actually thinking of asking some one here if they could hone the thing, and see if it gave them a good shave! I am at a loss.

BTW - what # is yours Zephyr?
