Louper 216 - Flamme (Louis Perlman) - 5/8+ (Kayser Ellison Steel)

[gabrielcr78]

A very interesting example of the loved Louper razors. They were very famous on the 20's but nowadays are difficult to find, and generally, Loper owners wont let them go that easy.. really neat little shavers.

Louis Perlmann company was Founded in Leipzig 1868, and sold razors under the brand of Golf, Flamme, Louper amongs others. used to be very well recognized and famous.

I'm not quite sure what to make out of the still visible etching "Kayser Ellison Steel", Since (as far as I kow) Kayser Ellison is a sheffield company from 1983. Was there an alliane between the two companies? was this made in Solingen but with Sheffield steel and Why? was it a tribute or just a memento? really don's have those answers, but what i do know is that this is indeed a great smooths shaver and you wont regret adding it into your collection especially if you like me can value the small pieces of history that come across. These are indeed rare.


It comes shave ready (for my taste; that means, my beard, skin, shaving technique etc…), but maybe some more stropping is required for your taste. Honed on progression of Naniwas up to 12k and finished in SG20K. After honed and tested, the razor has been cleaned, disinfected. Then it will be safely packed for the travel.

Shipping (to be covered by the buyer) to almost any country using EMS for expedite delivery (about 10 business days from shipping date to deliver at your country customs office) for only $15 to the US (ask me for other countries). Note: If you prefer, I can ship it for free without tracking number under buyer’s responsibility on F&F payments.

Will ship within 3 business days after payment. PayPal payment is expected within 24 hours after commit to buy the razor in this thread. Generally willing to hear reasonable offers. *Always happy to help grouping razors to reduce individual shipping costs!* . As with all Vintage razors, there could be defects in the blade or scales, but all my razors’ are checked clear of any pitting or nicks in the edge during honing, and scales are tight and close ok unless the contrary is specified.
