One more that has no mother of father! Historically many businesses bought razors from well known makers and had their names stamped onto it to sell as their own (yes, rebranding is certainly not new) Tracebility and info on these is hard and sparse, but one can rest easy in knowing there was really not a bad manufacturer like we have plenty off today, they were all good and some exceptionally so. I am yet to find a vintage straight razor that won't sharpen or retain an edge. .

The razor has a half hollow grind, the height is 16 mm or 5/5ths, the cutting edge is around 68 mm long. It has a square tip, camo celluloid scales that are firm and fairly straight with a blade that centers a bit off centre, but not touching the scales. The pinning looks neat and the bevel nice and even. The razor has a 4 mm spine giving it a bevelled angle of 14 degrees. 

The razor strops fast and easy on paddles and hanging stops. The shave delivered...(to be tested)

*Vintage razors are priced according to model and availability, time spent cleaning and reconditioning them, and also time spent getting the edge into a shave ready condition (some are preserved as is, or sold as is for the new owner to sharpen) Please enquire if you need additional work done to this razor prior to purchase.

All straight razors will require a stropping on leather after its first use. Pics are unedited (for detail) and provide a true image of the condition of the razor. 

The razor weighs only 24 grams, and takes up no more space than a pen, a great little traveller
