Well, yes, that would be this castle in Potsdam. And this Loreley rock.

Bought a nos a few years ago, hate to say but it was about the worst made razor I have come across.

Tacky scales, laser etched maker's mark in sans serif font? That is not the Sanssouci brand we are talking about here. That is a retired craftsman working with blanks he most likely received as wages in kind. I have two, and they shave really well, but the scales are atrocious, and the gold etching is so-so.

RobinK;

Yes, I agree with you 100% that they are very fine shavers. The only reason I sold mine was I have to many razors and needed to thin the herd which I'm still doing. In a way I kinda wish I kept my Sanssouci since you don't see many of them and I have mainly targeted rare or extremely scarce razors for my collection.

The true Sanssouci are very high quality razors.
