Swiss Rasofin DE Safety Razor?

[Snowbeard]

Greetings.

Does anyone have any idea what this DE is?

It came from Switzerland and I think it might be a "Rasofin" although there's no markings on it.

Can anyone add a photo of a known Rasofin so as to be able to compare?

Thanks kindly!

Here's another open comb razor from Switzerland, make unknown. I've tentatively identified it, for my own purposes, as a "LeCoultre" based on nothing much more than wishful thinking. Anyone actually seen a LeCoultre, made apparently by the same people that made the Jaeger-LeCoultre watches?

It has the common feature with some other Swiss razors of having that little dip or groove on the tips of each comb segment.

Any suggestions on a possible brand? 55 grams in weight.

Here's my Jacques Lecoultre Vulcano. It is SE.

They are, people don't know things.

I read on one of the shaving forums (can't recall which) that "Vulcano" was a brand of Swiss razor. I guess I assumed that it was DE. Now I know that the Vulcano was made by Lecoultre, and that it's in fact a single edge. Thanks for that, nongillette.

I also read online (so it must be reliable!) that Lecoultre was the first to have those grooves/indents on the comb that is to be found on several Swiss razors and that the other manufacturers copied it. I don't know if this is true or not. Was there ever even a Lecoultre DE? Hope we know the answer some day.
