    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.
