That's some mighty nice grinding, I must say. It's hard to find a well executed bellied full hollow these days. Looks like a pretty frisky shaver.

Nice razor.
I have lived and driven by Hess Hair Milk labs for years, wondered what it was but didn't know the whole story Untill went out of business and liquidated.
DANG!

There are a lot of HESS discussion materials for reference.

I purchased my current HESS #100 razor after seeing your HESS #100 razor. EXTRA HOLLOW razors are rare. This razor is made with the same fine craftsmanship as Japanese razors, which is also rare among American razors.

Hess was a barber supplier. Their razors were made under special contract by Dovo. This was back when Dovo made exceptional products.
In fact, Dovo made razors with many, many different names upon them.
A Rather large round point 44..
9/8 Hess #1...
Dovo made for Williams, another Barber supplier. Obvious connection....
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

It was probably produced by the DOVO Fritz Bracht factory during this period. I found an FBS razor, which is made in Germany and has the country of origin marked on it. Originally Posted by sharptonn

#100 razors are probably made in the USA. As shown in the picture, there are gaskets commonly used in the United States, and the head shape is not common on German razors.
