Thread: Dreifuss special ORO & Carrington Co. rare razors

I picked up a very old Dreifuss Special at an antiques market in Croatia. It has Dreifuss Solingen on the tang on one side and Bohler Extra Solingen on the revers of the tang. The blade has Dreifuss Special in red and gold with the logo in gold and blue. The logo is what looks to be a 3 footed shoe repair thing (it's sunday, i'm tired!)

The scales look to be horn or bone and it has a third pin, rust is not too bad and it sings like a bird when I pluck the blade.


I also have a Carrington & Co. which I got for 10 pound from ebay, I think I was the only person bidding on it and when it arrived it looked like a micky mouse piece of rubbish.

As it turns out the Carrington is one of the easiest to sharpen of all my razors and gets the keenest edge and teh smoothest shave by far, the only thing that comes close to it is the very old W&B.

I would appreciate any info on either of them as I can find nothing at all on the net or this site.

Thanks guys,
