I you want to comb through this Razor makers you might find who was using the trade mark "Respect" .

Holy Mackerel! That is quite a list. Thanks for the reference. I didn't see a "respect" trademark listed, but will comb through again.
It is not a complete list I am sure so you may not find it at all. My eyes glaze over every time I look for something on that list.Quote:

Bought a box at a Maryland auction with a bunch of pocket knives and this one straight razor
Its been a good list, for many of the razors I own.
There is another, and a very good read. If you google
" German Tool and Blade makers". You find even more, and easier to read than the other. I use the PDF version.
Sorry, I don't know how to post links, yet. Enjoy.
Well, it's a great looking razor. You should get it cleaned up, professionally honed, and learn to use it. It's a great feeling learning how to use a straight razor.Quote:

That looks like it, Bob. It was done by, "Archivindustry.Com
Thanks.
I believe there were other versions, for those that don't have a PDF reader.
It is a ringer for an 'Antelope' from Griffon......

So a German company was supplying both American companies with the blades?
I have no proof but could certainly believe that.Quote:

I suppose a few others have surfaced over the years.
Why would not Griffon make blades for others in their Solingen works.
Well..... since I am female, I don't think learning to shave with it is going to happen! LOL
I've known a few that shave their legs with them, but that's as far as it goes. :w
I suggested this to my wife, she didn't go for it. But if I were a competitive swimmer I might have more surface area to work with..Quote:

In another ten years or so it's gonna be "the thing to do" here at SRP... Come on guys, who's gonna go first???
Be a trend setter!
:rock:
I shudder contemplating shaving my head with a straight. Everything below my waist tightens up when I think about what you might be suggesting. :tdQuote:
