Trumpf

[efsk]

Trumpf is a well-known brand from the DDR, probably even from pre-DDR-tims. The CP in the middle of their logo should be the producer, but so far it is unknown who that producer was. It is possible that the less often seen Pneumand razors came from the same manufacturer.
Trumpf is best known for their Fasan N°1 type slants, but they did make regular DE's as well.

Packaging of the next two razors reminds of the 1950s. They actually did have different packaging for dfferent models, see coloringdifferences and lack of EVP (Einzelhandelsverkaufspreis=retail price, governmental decided in the DDR) on the slant case.
Also note the variation in coloringscheme between the two razors.
The slant shaves like a Fasan N°1: fabulous.

Different coloringscheme, for this razor I only have the case for the slant, which in this case does show the EVP.

Bakelite luxury case, razor in black with white bottompart on handle:

A bit older, a bit heavier, this brown bakelite razor. Case is similar to Fasan-cases, yet I'm not sure if it is original.

Interesting to see another famous slant design with a non slant version.

Here's my Trumpf travelset. Nice case, Trumpf slant in darkbrown bakelite. Two tubes, one with a very old stick, one empty, to place a brush in. One bladebank, one stypticpen holder. Everything branded Trumpf. Mirror is supplied as well, that is unbtanded.

You know in the USA, people critical of the current president: Donald J Trump often refer to him (in a derogatory fashion) as Trumpf! Not related in any way to this well-respected DE razor. So apologies are offered...

I thought that was the family name when they emigrated from Germany. Still, these razors remind me of my President with the Trumpf name written everywhere it fits.
