Cowboy

[efsk]

A brand whose DE's are not found too often. For a while there was someone in Germany selling a whole bunch of noS straights though.
Made by Ernst Linhorst Rasiermesser- und Rasierklingen-Fabrik, Solingen-Wald.
First an interesting Pushbutton Razor. This DE you don't twist or screw, you push a button on the bottom of the handle and then the topcap releases. I own this same model branded Busch-Weltmeister, and over at FdR there's someone with a Cutlerix branded one.

Linhorst also made a Cowboy Slant. Twisted the other way around from Merkur, also left lower than right, like the Ibsen-type slants, this razor has one of the most beautiful handles I've seen. Shaves pretty well as well.

Strange name for a German razor. Did they have cowboys in Germany?

Beautiful razors though.

I read all three Karl May Winnetou-books.

Sure, me to and most of the of his other books as well. Indeed I liked the Arabian tales most. Who could ever forget Hadji Halef Omar Ben Hadji Abul Abbas ibn Hadji Dawoud al Gosarah..
