Thread: Anyone heard of this razor? Just curious

Hi, I bought a razor at a flea market a couple of weeks ago. It's a 5/8 square
point with yellow scales (plastic? don't really know the material). It has a few
blemishes but looks pretty good overall. As soon as I pry open my wallet, I'll
get a stone and sharpen it up. But I was wondering if anyone had heard of the
brand? I couldn't really find anything on Google.

On the one side, it says "Cross + Cut" with "trademark" under it. I.e. "Cross Cut"
with a plus or cross in the middle. On the other side it says "Non-Fragile
Non-Turning Razorite Steel".

I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this brand.

I've actually never heard of that one. How can you be sure that it's not of dubious origin (*ahem* Pakistan)? I can't help but feel a little leery about it.

Pictures might be helpful. Is there a maker's mark as well?

Okay, here's some quick pictures. I guess it could be from Pakistan, but it was
in an old cigar box with a bunch of other, somewhat ratty looking older razors. I
figured it was just an older American one. No maker's mark unless you count
the "CROSS + CUT" trademark. I just thought it was a little interesting and figured
it was probably worth the $8 the guy wanted.

Doesn't look like a "Packi" to me mate.

I couldn't find who had that trademark but that's not unusual as there have been so many razor manufacturers over the years. One of my best shavers is a HARMONY, no other details are on it and it's not fancy but it's one of the ones I pick up most often.

I say the 8 bucks was alright.

Have a good one

That's a vintage razor alright. Hard to say where its made. Maybe lynn will chime in with some wisdom here. I'd say its a quality razor.
