    Default Razor manufacturer help an razor identification

    Ok so I have 2 questions about some razors I will start with J. A. Henckels. I have noticed that Geo. H. Weyer razors have the twin men on some of their razors so are they the same company as J. A. Henckels just earlier production or did one produce razors for the other to sell? Next question, I have a razor that I picked up dirt cheap with no manufacturers mark or name but I can't find a single thing about it an it is one of my best shavers so I thought I would just ask about it an hopefully someone with a little more knowledge can help me. It is full hollow possibly extra hollow an it is marked "silver beauty". Any help is greatly appreciated. An please don't ask for pics as I have tons of problem with this site when I'm signed in an uploading a pic would take me a month!!! Again thanks for everyone's help.

    George Weyer was a barber supply in St Louis, I think. Bought and resold all manner of items.
    Seem apparent he also sold Henckels razors with his name stamped upon them, which was common practice.

    I have seen the "Silver beauty" trademark before, definitely German early 20th century.

    Thank you sharptonn an Martin103 I figured that the silver beauty was German made I picked it up for 17.50 because one scale was cracked an I all I did was sterilize strop an shave it was awesome so I superglued the one scale an now it is one of my favorite razors along with a Hibbard spencer bartlett I just purchased it has an ivory covered tang an cuts through hair like it's butter. Again thanks.

    Great! BTW, Weyer was in St Joseph, Mo. Not St Louis! (Had to go look at my Weyer brush!)
