    It means none excell. This is found on Joseph Allen razors.
    There are other variations on the X theme. Wostenholm has IXL ( I excell) and I have seen another brand use something like Xlnt (excellent).
    Neil Miller and alpla444 like this.

    They are stating that no other brands is better, as in no other razor excels theirs. Victorian marketing!

    That's how I would read it. No "truth in advertising" law in that era!
