The difference is that the RG is made of brass and the DX out of stainless steel. Then the RG no longer is available.

Larry, as stated before; we do have a similar taste when it comes to razor design. This one is a very nice.☺

You two have got RAD really bad. Congratulations to the fantastic razors.

And it is snowballing Arne!
Rich, I've been looking at this Törnblom thumb notch in pristine condition with an added cork screw. It was put out for sale two days ago and so far the price is closing in on $1000. There's twelve days to go. It's way out of my league. I just wanted to share it with you to feed your hunger for Törnblom razors. It is one of a kind.
... I know I can be cruel[emoji1]
LOL Thank you so very much my Friend, I am done for a while whilst I break these in, but as great a shavers as these are, I am going to be hard pressed to make it through this week with the new Feather DX without throwing some Swedish Steel in there at some point, I have been using these exclusively for approaching three weeks now and my Traditional Straight Razor Itch is starting to flare up again LOL
WOW! That is Phenomenally Stunning Arne, but that pricetag is just way out of my League for sure my Friend
Nate, that razor is more of a piece for a museum and I hope that it'll end up as such. I guess that it isn't much of a shaver. The heavy metal scales and the cork screw must make the whole thing very unbalanced. Even so if i was to find one for a good price in a box a flea market I'd buy it at once but not to shave with.LOL Thank you so very much my Friend, I am done for a while whilst I break these in, but as great a shavers as these are, I am going to be hard pressed to make it through this week with the new Feather DX without throwing some Swedish Steel in there at some point, I have been using these exclusively for approaching three weeks now and my Traditional Straight Razor Itch is starting to flare up again LOL

That is what I was thinking as well, after all, it may very well have been a piece that was made as a gift for the Manufacturer by the workers for some anniversary or birthday or something, it is definitely not something that one would see often. I am right there with you thought, if I were at a garage sale or flea market and saw this just sitting there, it would be coming home with me for cleaning, restoration to as close to original as possible and display. That is saying something too because I firmly believe in using every razor in my Den, but this one would definitely have a special place.
I do hope your wishes come true and it does end up in a museum
I knew they were made of different metals, I meant that the shave experience was identical. I think I also liked that the RG is a tiny bit heavier.
Very nice, you'll get some lovely shaves from that one =)
Cruel indeed! It's sad that unobtainium can come in so many forms! I love the scroll work on the scales!
Thanks for sharing!
BTW, I question the need for a corkscrew on a razor... Mixing wine and razors is a story that could end sadly! =)
It agree it was probably a gag gift by the guys in the shop for a beloved managers retirement. Great find Arne! Keeping the picture!

Very Nice!
10/8 Rodgers Dutch Rattler. No I did not pay that price... The guy did not pay... I paid a sane price.
Whew! Plenty of metal there eh! It should restore beautifully. I just don't know how I'd maneuver that much steel around my face!
It's all an illusion
My latest, this little gem from Japan. .vintage Tosuke Inoue Kinmoji. ..cant wait to shave with it once i get home.
On the way to me . . . .
