Thanked: 5Razor ID please ?
At Christmas/New Year I got an old razor from my girlfriends' grandfather. It's been used a lot by him, in a psychiatric warden. It might have belonged to his father as well, though I'm not entirely sure on that one.
On the box it says Garantie Solingen - Germany (pretty classic, everyone could've guessed that ) Ninus.
On the blade it says Ninus with some artwork, on the tang "Ninus Razor" on one side and "Solingen - Made in Germany - 1114"on the other side. The handle is broken white plastic (micarta perhaps?), two pins.
Does anybody know anything about Ninus or does someone have a razor like this one ?
I'm quite aware of the fact that this is a bland razor, old, worn and not worth much. It needs some cleaning and polishing due to corrosion stains, as well as a good sharpening. The edge is in pretty good condition though. No major nicks or what have you.
I hope to get it clean and sharp to put it in a small collection of myself. I might try using it, although I'm a bit cautious due to it's history in a warden.
If I get some good shots, I'll post pics later.
