    Default A 915 Giant

    Was shown a razor recently stamped - 915 "Giant" guaranteed - ... but no other manufacturers markings that could be made out. Wondering if anyone has come across a "Giant" razor before. Any assistance identifying this one would be greatly appreciated.

    It looks like it would have been quite flash when it was new, how big is it? I am going to guess at around 13/16

    Hi Ed ...how did you do that? Yes, it IS 13/16".
    Not sure whether it will show up on the pic, but a faint etching on the blade can still be read ....
    Giant special,
    Full Concave Finest Razor.
    Does not appear to have a makers mark or any info on the reverse tang, although it is quite corroded.
    Comes from the Cairns Qld area. Worst bit- I have to give it back - so can't work on the rust removal any further.
    Anyone recognize a razor or etching similar to this one, PLEASE let me know.
    Cheers
