    Good old hardware store variety. These were imported en masse before WWII. Last of the German invasion of straight razors. They were done expertly, for the vast majority. It should shave the dickens. What is that character on the front scale? A devil or a lobster?

    Yes! That is probably it (or close!) !
    It seems to be a devil with two lobster claws extended! Or is that a pitchfork ???

    I have seen this image on a few razors. Currently one on the Bay for sale with this image, but inlaid.
