Anyone heard of this brand? I have two Good Vogue brand straight razors with gold plating, really well made and paper thin grind. But couldn't find anything aboput the actual maker of these. I'll add photos later.
I look forward to the photos.
Only thing I could find is Dovo made an "En Vogue" razor.
Following to see the photos!
Never heard of it, but we all learn new stuff all of the time.
I never heard of it either and I also searched but didn't find anything. That doesn't necessarily mean anything though. It wouldn't be a first if someone else came up with something after I had searched already. Hope to hear more though.

Here they are as promised. Both have very good quality typical crisp German steel, paper thin grind. Although never used, sadly both had a lot rust spots under the gold plating. I tried my best to clean them.
Only thing I could find, was an eBay listing for safety razor blades.

That's a long read. Good....but I usually fall asleep, looking for things.
I checked my German cutlers mark, that I have in PDF. But no go.

It appears that you did a very good of removing the rust! :)
What technique did you use?
Thanks, rust under gold plating always sucks. Under studio light they may look very clean but to the eyes one can see the remains of the old deposits. You can never achieve perfect results with gold plating. For the second one I had to remove the gold plating totally because the spots where the rust were made it look far too blotchy and I didn't like it. Looked much better with the useless gold gone.Quote:

Applied it many times with q tips until all the rust deposits are gone. Rust remover leaves a darker oksidized look on the old rusted spots, but oh well it's either that or total gold removal again.
