I have a few, starting with my Marlboro 500. My guess is that it was a promotional gift

about 13/16ths, very nice shaver

tang:




back of tang:


small crack along the spine, maybe from hardening? It is stable


Any ideas who might have made this, don't think Marlboro had their own razor manufacture..

Tanifuji made the Cape 500, looks similar

Thanks, that one certainly looks very similar.

Ribbon razor and an atlas.

Had more than I thought! Lol

Tricho 2/8 but it is really 3/8. Only purchased it because it said 2/8. Shaves good and was cheap so not bad in the end
