    Thanks that pretty much sums it up as far as how old they are and what I needed to know.

    Thanks!!

    I had one once; a 6/8 full hollow. She took a hell of an edge.

    Better late than never...

    German manufacturer for FINEDGE OSTISO N.Y.C. was Peter Altenbach & Söhne SCHWANENWERK (SWAN WORKS) in Ohligs-Solingen.

    I recently got one very old ORIENT RAZOR of them:

    A typical 5/8in Square of FINEDGE OSTISO looked like this one:

    I had one recently, seemed to be very nice quality, honed easily, shaved great.
    Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.
