Thread: German strait

Hi all does anyone know anything about these razors please? Wonder if these are reputable

Here is a good starting place: http://www.archivingindustry.com/cut...lermarks-1.pdf
Always a great resource is the Advanced Search box on the top right of the SRP page.

Not an expert and I can't see the other photos or enlarge them. I does look to me to be a vintage Solingen razor in nice condition. Here is some info on Solingen makers and their brand names Razor makers . You might be able to find it listed in there.

To slow on the draw this morning.

Anyone else who knows these

There's not a lot info.
Alfons Kehlen, Solingen.
Trademark: Gallito.
In 1931, located Stahlwarenfabrik, Exp. Alfons Kehlen , Beckmannstr. 7.

Bet it's good quality

I saw one word on both razors that told me they were good quality......Solingen!

Hard to find a bad vintage Solingen but I guess they do exist.

They are German so I am a betting man..............I say yes they will be a great razor! I am part German so I am bias!

There were many, many small razor makers in Solingen, a real cottage industry, so there are many seldom seen makers and trade names show up. Then there are the ones with no makers mark sold to importers and barbers supply house that shave as well as the branded ones. Vintage Solingen razors are hard to beat for quality regardless of the name or lack of name stamped on the blade. As with any razor condition is everything.
