Rare razors

Doh!

I looked again and the one which said Solingen was the Fratelli Cella.

The Lorenzo Bianda has no country of origin on it. Perhaps HE is an Italian maker? Still, with the letters M and C? Gotta start digging

It's okay Tom. We all make mistakes. I am glad I did find the marking though & it is on an Italian razor but now we must find the true origin. We are on a mission!

No idea who the maker was on this set.

Scales are tortoise, I think it had a blade guard somewhat like the "Curley's" at one time. Lost the link that showed it was made around 1800, but I don't know if that's correct or not. Only two of the blades are even close to usable but it's different. Haven't tried honing it. Probably never will.

Only marking on it anywhere is simply the number 1. All pieces are marked the same.

D Edwards, maker of fine luxury boxes in London. Razors most likely made in Sheffield. MOP scaled.

Ah! Those are the filed-edge ones, rather than the huge ones that go across the back.

Big fan of those, too.

Wullie, I have seen some like that on here before but I can't recall the maker?
