This is Edison Standard A model.
I think to buy this model as shaving and playing.
How do you think this model as shaving?
Your comment would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony from Korea

The Standard is probably the worst model for shaving. After 1906, Edison stopped equipping the Standard and the Home with shavers. You would be better off with a later Ediphone or Dicaphone shaving machine from the 1920s-1940s. It would be less expensive as well.

The Triumph does a decent job shaving, the home, so so, never shaved on a Standard. One thing to remember is any shaving on a phonograph you put the carriage down in the play position, and then look for the highest point on the blank, if any, and then bring your shaving knife down with the veneer, so it is close but not touching the cylinder yet, and then start the machine and give a quarter turn, and if it is not shaving yet, bring it back to the start and give an 1/8th turn and so on, Your first pass you want to not even take any wax off , maybe a spot or two and then give an 8th turn and start again, extremely small adjustments, and do not change the cut once it has started, if you do it is too late! I have shaved over 10,000 cylinder records (new, freshly manufactured, from 2.3" down to about 2.190=2.150", not original brown wax, as that is a travesty to shave any pre-1900 wax, in any condition.)
