I have yet to figure out a method for getting the inscription on the blade to show up when aiming my camera at it. Perhaps I'll try it in a different lighting environment, and see if that helps. Both of them possess very simple inscriptions. As I'm sitting here examining them, I'm beginning to think they're probably of a semi inexpensive brand. Partially due to the generations of frugality that existed on that side of the family, and partially due to the feel of them. I'm thinking that while one may have a rather ornate design, I'm beginning to think that both are actually just plastic. Hopefully, with my next post, I'll be able to provide you with some up-close pictures of the inscription.
Semi inexpensive or not.What seems to be plastic could be bakelite and by the looks of the ornate one,it looks vintage.Some vintage razors had scales that were made from a waxie plastic-like substance,the ornate razor seems to have the same material I described.Some models of the Bresneck Dubl Duck razors had scales made from that material,I believe.I'll stay in tune with this post for I am curious about you alsome find.Hope you can show pics in the near future.
