Shaving today with a vintage ERN vintage German straight razor.
This robust straight razor has had quite some use, but is very well preserved. Crown and Sword razors are built like tanks and are the Bread and Butter in the world of straight razors.
ERN Crown and Sword is a very well recognised razor maker. I have had a few of these razors in various conditions and all perform perfectly well and are highly recommended.
This blade will be ideal for someone new to shaving with a straight razor, extremely forgiving blade with a round point. The blade is also engraved with the Cologne Cathedral.
Recommended is the Sandalwood shave soap from Crabtree and Evelyn www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3646859344...
The razor responded very quickly to honing, an indication of very light use and was a joy to restore this razor to a shave ready condition and put it to the test by personally shave testing.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.

I have a couple ERN, some of my favorites

Yeah they are built like a tank and all consistent, some with a Gold wash, scalloped spine or just plain like this one and they all perform exactly the same.

Very nice ERN, i have a similar razor called a Krupp which give a consistently good shave. Also very nice to see a one hand shave, i do the same as i just cant get used to holding the razor in my left hand. Thanks very much Andy

Morning Andy. Most German razors are good. I have had quite a few ERN Crown and Sword and all are consistently perfect shavers. Dovo was the worst blade i have come across. Brand new Dovo, straight out of the wrapper/box, had to be honed to be shave ready and pass the HHT.😉😊

@@pixsellpix absolutely agree, i had 2 Dovo razors new and had to be honed, really disopointing as it was years ago when i was new to straight razors.

@@andyc3943 Ohhhh thats not a good start to straights, especially from what should be a good maker by now. I have had Gold Dollar razors from china that are better than Dovo with their fancy Gold wash and Bismark, taking credit from "borrowed interest". I am a firm believer that vintage razors are the best. The reason for this is that these razor were made in a time when excellence was "standard" and some of mine are almost 200 years old, certainly outlived the previous owner and me also. I have tried to use my left hand and it does not agree either LOL!!! What make of razor are you using at the moment?
