    Welcome to SRP, Interesting razors, about the Kosmos, has written on the box"Rasoir de Surete" ( Safety razor). The blade originally came with a comb, witch guarded the blade to make it less probable to cut yourself. Didnt find any manufacturer on this razor but seems it came out around the turn of the century.

    Hello Martin103, Thank you for welcoming and information. Both razors are scratched on the handle with year 1936, probably when former owner got them.
