Here is another vintage model with little (if any) information on it, 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) 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 razor that won't sharpen or retain an edge. Looking at the blade, this one may very well have been from the Bengal stable, and they made very good steel.
As a second measure I did test-shave this one, very much a middle of the road in terms of closeness, comfort and sharpness, its a great starter razor to set your standards by get your stropping technique spot on, and even learn to hone (we used one layer of tape creating the edge)
The razor has a half hollow grind, the height is 5/8 and the cutting edge is around 70 mm long. It has a round tip, celluloid scales that are firm and fairly straight with a blade that centers nicely. The pinning looks neat and the blade is clean and rust free, what is not to like!?
*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.
a Very user friendly razor.
