My dad and I got into a conversation about shaving. I told him I've been using DE razors for years and not only was he surprised that the blades are still manufactured but also that modern DE are still produced! I also told him there's a small come back into traditional shaving and there are a few smaller manufacturers making high-end steel razors. He was really surprised! My dad shaved for many years with electric razors then he switched to cartages. He did not believed me when I told him DE are far superior...oh well none of my friends do so either!
He want into his bathroom and brought me this razor. My granddad stole the razor from a dead German soldier in Italy during WWII. He exclusively shaved with it for over 50 years until his death. My dad used it once and did not care for it.
The razor was mechanically sound but all the original nickel plating was gone but a small spot on the head. It had tarnish and green oxidization all over. I had it re-plated in 24K gold. It's a mind and very smooth shaver for an open comb, actually the mildest open comb I own. It provides a truly great shave.
I not sure of the making; it has a 'HP' engraving on the handle.
