Hello.
I would like to ask for help in finding information about this razor.
Unfortunately, I have only these photos (without any descriptions or additional data).
I would be grateful for any information.
Thank you!

Kind of the same mechanism like the Dixi, except the handle is way different.

She reminds me more of Razra and Miwa

In your 4th pic there's some writing visible on the baseplate. Can't decipher it from this pic. Any idea what it says?

xIA deciphers it as "Solid Steel" which doesn't really help us further

Here's what we managed to find out, the brand Meli 1061 . Razor was made in Czechoslovakia. Later "Meli" was renamed to "Soluna".

Nice. So the brand has now been identified!

Here's a couple of photos of another razor described by the Hungarian seller on Ebay as a "Meli":

I have some photos of a safety razor with spring action handle. The razor was probably made around 1920/30. The razor is marked D.R.P.a and D.R.G.M. The safety razor is nickel-plated and has a wavy blade guard. It is possible to find out more about the razor, but it takes some time.

The Dixi safety razor looks very similar to this safety razor from a distance. This is probably due to the handle. But the way the two safety razor models work is very different. The unknown safety razor or the one marked with D.R.P and D.R.G.M has a spring effect on the handle that holds the razor head together. The Dixi safety razor has a lever effect to hold the razor head together. The handle is shaped accordingly at the top and soldered to the small crossbar. The Dixi safety razor was manufactured by the company Kaufmann & Söhne Indiawerk AG, Solingen. The company was granted the patent on August 1, 1934.
