This is one that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Thought you should have a record.

That’s a beauty and one I’d never seen. Can you share where you found it? Thanks for sharing the images.

 

[Arun]

Can’t remember, it was over 15 years ago. I was trying to find the details about it recently and couldn’t find anything. Thought I should post it here so at least there’s some record for others.

Hello Arun. This razor is in good hands. I've got it now! It's out for a re-plate at the moment so it should come back looking better than ever. And, I'll be sure to share lots of photos of this almost unknown beauty so that its existence is never lost to history. Cheers and all the best. Ken

Hi Ken, I’m glad you’re happy with it. It’s good that it is going to be used rather than lying in a cupboard for years. Since I was taking pictures I thought I would post them here for others. I found this forum very helpful for getting information on all the esoteric European razors I have. Enjoy the razor. Arun

Arun, here are some more photos of your rare razor (thanks!), as promised. As you can see I had it re-plated, changing it from a slightly degraded chrome finish to nickel. I did have to think pretty hard whether this was the right decision. Anyway, I hope I didn't wreck it.

I hate chrome, it's hard to get rid of and it's slippery,... nickel is much nicer!
