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.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973. The oath I swore has no statute of limitation.

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

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.

Very nice bone scales. I like them.
What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

I'm a sucker for lost causes. Send that razor to me and let's see what I can do with it, if anything.
