Thread: SRP Special: Rex 8 from Eskilstuna Sweden

I picked up a handful of New Old Stock Rex 8's out of Eskilstuna, Sweden from a SRP member in Europe with the idea being to get them into the US to make them cheaply available to new shavers. Why these razors? Because these are ideal razors for a new shaver - they are 5/8, round point, just shy of half hollow, made from great steel, and SHAVE READY. Plus, you can have your razor how you want it - pick your finisher (coticule, vintage Thuringian or asagi) or you can leave it to me.

The price is $50 each including shipping to you (within the US) - this is equal to the purchase price + shipping to me and to you + the going rate of honing ($15).

This is a SRP EXCLUSIVE, so to see all the photos, head over to SRP Exclusive: REX 8 « Holli4's Straight Razor Page and use the password "albacore" (get it, like the tuna :-) ) to gain access to the listing. Purchase information is there on the website - you need to contact me directly via email or PM here on the forum.

I will update this first post AND the website to indicate which are sold. Though there are 8, I'm going to keep 1 (whichever is the last available), so only SEVEN are up for grabs. Which one will you have?

A is SOLD
B is SOLD
C is SOLD
D is SOLD
F is SOLD
G is SOLD

Dylan, have you used one of these beauties yet, if so , how was the shave, thanks. kelly

Yup, I have had a chance to shave with the first sold one. They are really really nice shavers. If you like the other Swedish blades, you'll love these.

PM sent...have been looking forward to trying Swedish steel, so i'm in for one (F)!

Three have gone, and four remain.

To sweeten the deal, I'll also throw in one FREE rehoning - just pay the return shipping.

For those of you who already bought one, this applies to you too.

EDIT: Make that four gone and three remaining.

There are only TWO Rex's left, and I'm keeping one, so there is ONE more up for grabs.

You choose, E or H. Get it while you still can.

All gone, except my one. Thanks, guys.
