    Hello I found this razor a while back in my old house and was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it.
    thanks

    By typing Magnetic Diamond Edge in the search box I found some threads about a Kukri razor that looks like yours.

    btw- welcome to srp
    definitely not a Geneva, nothing like it and yours is german not American like genevas. the link to the "neat german razor" looks to be the best bet, sorry no info on the trademark, but it reminds me of the griffon razors. interesting that it has "magnetic", "diamond steel" and "best silver steel" on the same blade, haha, they were really pushing the catch phrase sales slogans there!

    the majority of razors ive bought (and its a mighty large number!) came with boxes that didn't match. funny thing is that when I buy I do so for the razor and if the box matches-bonus! if it doesn't match I sometimes look for razors to buy that will match my razorless box, how silly is that? I have a list of trademarks and owners somewhere, ill see if I can dig it up....

    i guess thats common. people probably wrecked their boxes and kept their nicest ones in the intact boxes.
