That is a gorgeous razor, but don't forget that we have a spot for lady straight shavers to chat. Get it cleaned up, honed, and never buy disposable blades for your legs/underarms again!

Now that you posted that, I looked closely at the blade, and it does say "Savoy" (albeit very, very faintly) with a picture of what I believe is a Griffen next to it. That was a big help
1932 is later than I thought, maybe my grandpa mixed the razors up. He told me a story about the first one my great grandpa got, but that was his father-in-law, anyway.

Couldn't guess at its' value, but it sure is pretty.

I'm sure the company was in business longer than just one year (1932) but that's all I could dig up

Hi ...
The "Klihaso" brand name could be a composite of "KLIttermann - HAan - SOlingen". With Klittermann as the manufacturer and Haan - Solingen as the location of the factory. I've grown up in the city of Haan and it's is the neighbouring city of Solingen.
Another explanation could be the meaning of the German word for blade - "Klinge" (Klingen - Haan - Solingen), but Klittermann is more likely.
Kind regards - and thank you for this great forum!
