  1. Talking Maquina de Toledo (classic open comb)

    I have got this great razor made in Spain (1940-1960 aprox.), his name is Maquina de Toledo (machine from Toledo) because it was manufacturing in this city by Fábrica Nacional de Armas (national weapon factory) It's a cheap NOS razor (5€), light and good balanced. It's very little unmounted and easy to transport in his box.

    Looks like a knock-off of a 1910's or early 1920's Gillette Old Type. If it works well, it was probably worth the five Euro. It may be worth even more to an Spanish collector. In fact, I don't know of any new DE razor other than those plastic ones sold in India that sell for that cheap. I hope it turns out to be in as good condition as the photos and that it shaves well.

    Si senor, it means machine from Toledo in spanish...heres the history of Toledo ............. Toledo is a municipality located in central Spain south of Madrid. It is the capital of the province of Toledo. It is also the capital of autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage as one of the former capitals of the Spanish Empire and place of coexistence of Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures.
