Here is an intersting one... any comments?
This one is an ebay find, from argentina, made for the spanish market from germany. The way the box fits the razor is uniquely interesting.
Anyone know any other info about this razor?

Interesting, I do know that "El Casco" is a very reputed maker of hardware for the office, staplers and things like that, but did not know anything about them making razors.....

I've never heard of them but that is a lovely razor.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

What, hi_bud_gl said
. Designed to fit snug in its case, hence for travelling, that's a very pretty one. I've never had my hands on one. What's the balance like?

I love the blade on that, but unfortunately, i don't really like the scales on travel razors. Nice find though!

I'm pretty sure the WRK was a BIG manufacturer of bayonets for the German Army.

The blance definitly favours the scales a bit. The blade itself appears to be light, the steel seems light. But even with the slight balance thing id say when its done it will makea nice shaver. You would have to be aware of the balance thing as its not the same as normal razors.
Just hope its nice steel and takes a nice edge.
