Thread: Help with razor identification please

I picked up an interesting razor yesterday and am curious if anyone can tell me much about it. I did some internet searches and some searches here, but didn't find anything specific. The blade is in rough shape, but I thought the scales were very nice, I am guessing horn, and got it for a song with a double edge I purchased.

One side says Guaranteed Swedish Steel, the other is harder to read, I believe it is either S.H.K and Co, Germany, or J.H.K and Co, Germany.

Looking forward to what I can learn about this one, I don't know if the blade can be saved, but it was cheap and has nice scales.

Pics aren't the best. The blade can probably be saved, but it'll lose a bit.

There were hundreds of companies in Germany turning out blades and a lot of them stamped their blades with a name other than the real manufacturer.

Looks like good project to have some fun with.

Nice bone scales

That is a salvageable keeper. Take it on as project to learn on if you haven't restored one yet.

Maybe so, maybe not,before you do anything see if that edge will hone,that edge is pitted bad a 1/4 in. into the blade

I would have to see some HD pics that are in better focus than the ones Kecklc has offered up but I have seen worse take a good clean edge after some work.
