Can anyone identify (or have any information on) this "Meister Ross" straight razor?
Hello all -
Does anyone know who manufactures this razor? I've seen this type of scale before on a re-scaled Dovo, but I don't think this blade is a Dovo. The razor looks to have been made to honor the life of Peter Hahn, who lived from 1720-1794 as indicated by the blade inscriptions. "Peter Hahn, der biedere schmied von Solingen."...("Peter Hahn, the honest blacksmith of Solingen.") The tang is stamped with "1980", "Meister Ross", and "3/8". The reverse of the blade is stamped "Spitzenqualität" (or "top quality") "Solingen, Germany". Interestingly, the vinyl sleeve is imprinted with the Solingen logo and "West Germany" "Solingen, Inox" (the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and afterwards, the unified Germany wasn't referred to as "East" or "West" Germany).

I found another one on eBay in a set of two from a seller in Japan (the second has "Renaissance" on the blade and "Meister Engels" on the tang):

Some of the lettering on the lid of the case looks like it could be Japanese. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
