Thread: has anyone hear or seen

Hello gents, Does anyone here know anything about these razors?
-Griffon “CUCKOO” Germany
-Aporis 901 especially refined chemical steel w/ maybe a Thunderbird on the scale
-Amburg maybe Famburg 400
-Junker Razor 471 swedish steel w/flower on spine. it looks like it’s a henkel but it doesn’t have the 2nd twin on it and the man on scale has a point(looks like a mohawk) on his head
I’m just needing to know before i start refurbishing them.
Thanks for any help in advance

Welcome to SRP. I don't know specifically about the cuckoo but Griffon makes some fine razors. The Amburg or Famburg is probably Hamburg. Hamburg ground razors were also fine instrumemts. Again i don't know specifically about the 400. That's all I know. Someone else will likely come along with more information. Perhaps post some pictures. That will help. Meanwhile, enjoy your time here.

thank you for the suggestion. here are the razors i’m talking about-

Could be wrong but I think the Aporis is Japanese and a pretty decent brand. I don't think anything you got there is junk.

Griffon was a New York based wholesaler/retailer. Lots of products.
They had a factory in Germany pre-war. https://sharprazorpalace.com/razors/...llow-16-a.html

Yours looks nice. Genuine stag scales?

How much refurbishment are you planning on doing? They like pretty good the way they are to me. But, your razors.....

Anyway, welcome aboard Jar Head! Ooh Rah!

Thanks y’all
yes they are real stag scales i have already started sanding and polishing some of them; my next is trying to make some scales and go from there.

Yes, a few brands are known to have spine work over the years.
