    Default Is this a Wostenholm?

    eBay has been interesting today.

    Is the razor in this auction actually a Wostenholm Pipe razor instead of a Henckels?

    Yeah, I noticed the different brand on it, but I was under the impression that Wostenholms were the only ones with pipes. Thanks for the reply.

    Based on what I have seen, my best guess is that it's a Wostenholm razor that was made for Clauberg. I'd bet the back has the typical Geo Wostenholm over Sheffield England stamp on it. I have seen others like that.
