Interesting story - 1000 pieces ... never linked this razor to Merc Benz - this is mine , must be part of a '7 day set' as this one carries the tuesday stamp
good shaver but nothing special...
I was tryin' to figure out which is worse,ignorance or apathy...Then I realized I don't know and I don't care...

Hmm I wonder if they ever made a Porsche razor, I bet it shaves quicker

I think that story may be urban myth. I first saw it on B&B 10 years ago buy a poster that said he heard it from a shop owner in California. I have seen Benz DE's, 7 day sets and pocket knives. I think there was a Solingen cutler A. Benz and then there was Machenbach & Benz. It would be nice to see some confirmation since Karl Benz died in 1929 and was always an locomotive engineer and never lived in Solingen that I am aware of.

I think it was a story made up by "Bullshit Bill from Notting Hill"
