Thread: Anyone Know The Brand?

Hello I posted on here that I just purchased my first SR and I was wondering if anyone knows the brand, I have tried looking it up but can't seem to find any information on it I was just curious about it Barber Supply Company it says one side is marked gun metal and the other says Barber Supply Co made in Germany. I was just wondering if anyone knew more about the brand? It looks great though

A picture is sometimes very helpful for seeing something others might miss (grind, shape of the tang, toe, scales, etc. When you get the chance of course...

Ok here are a couple

Boy, if that was walking down the street I'd whistle at it! Very nice.

Well Red Imp sure comes to mind but that would be marked as such. A fairly classic shape. Manah or a few of the other good researchers might know. They'll be along soon Im sure.

Your razor was made in Germany for resale by a barber supply company. These razors were inexpensive and made with the retailer's name stamped on the tang. Because of the low price many smaller businesses could sell a personalized line of razors. Hundreds of hardware stores, barber/beauty supply houses, cutlery shops, etc., sold these razors which were made by anonymous German manufacturers. They are generally good, serviceable razors, but not "top of the line".
