Thread: Can anyone identify this razor?

Hello everyone,

I wonder if anyone can identify this razor. There is no name, just a mark, which appears to be an eagle carrying a crown in its beak. The etching on the blade says 'Kickuff - Nachschliff' which means 'Kickuff - Re-sharpened' and so I guess is nothing to do with the maker of the razor. The reverse says 'SOLINGEN GARANTIZADO', so it was obviously produced for a Spanish-speaking market. Any clues?



Many thanks!

So, seems no-one recognises this mark... I've cleaned the razor up a bit and taken a clearer picture, so I'll just leave it hanging, maybe one day someone will come up with an answer...

Seems the answer was staring me in the face... google helped out, seems the marque is 'Crown and Eagle', here is an example from the web:



Seems like a fairly decent brand. Next question, anyone know who made Crown and Eagle?

Next clue: was the maker Heinrich Kaufmann? This page mentions the H Kaufmann brands:

STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Heinrich Kaufmann, India-Werk, Solingen.

No mention of Crown and Eagle, but look at the scales on that K55K razor...

Wish I had had an answer. I would have given it. Glad you found your answer though. Maybe that will help someone else.

Yes thanks! Another small increment in our knowledge, and once the thread is up, as you say, it becomes a reference for the future.
