Solingen Holeka 50

Does anyone have an information on the Solingen Holeka 50?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

He is the owner of the trademark i believed from different sources, the Holeka razors comes up often as a 7 day set and especially as "Souvenir of Germany".

That said if your asking about quality, yes definately a high quality Solingen razor.

Thanks for your help and info!

Mine has no Paul Klarenback stamp.

Picked it up at a yard sale with two other razors, a George Ibbertson, "Firth Steel", a Boker, "King Cutter", and this Holeka 50. It's obviously been re-scaled, but when I had it honed and had a shave with it, I was absolutely blown away - 3 razors for $40 Cdn, and get this wonderful blade. Here is a crappy pic of the three blades, the Holeka 50 is in the middle:

Better shot of tang stamp. Should mention that I picked these 3 razors up about 6 months ago, and always liked the Holeka, saw another post here about a #70 so it got my curiosity up again as I've never really been able to find anything out about it.

Sorry I can't help with any information at the moment Phrank.
I could however write "The Chronicles of Phrank's Found Razors" if you were to send them to me :hmmm:
This would of course allow for an objective review first hand,
and of course being able to interview them first face is critical to the validity of the saga. :)

I agree, and a comparison would be the scientific thing to do!

You send me your 5 favorite blades, ranging in size and grind, and I'll pay the postage both ways and send you my 3 razors pictured? Say, we'll take 10 years to do a thorough examination and comparison before we jointly publish our findings?

You in?

:hmmm:

I have to choose 5 favorites!!!!!
Man this is going to be harder than I thought......
