Can't figure out who is making them. Looks like they could be made by Dovo, but they don't behave like a Dovo.

Really? I may not know any better, but I use my cmon caddy more than I use my wosty. The hinge and scales are junk, but I've been happy with the quality of the shaves.

I just got an older C-Mon out of a lot of old razors I received from a retired barber.
It's marked with the Monkhouse name on the backside and is marked C-Mon then under that HF and has a peened tang. I've sure never seen one like it.
I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow evening. Anybody seen one of these?

Yeah, I've got one. Great shaver.

Jimmy I tried mine last night and man that is one of my best shavers. Very smooth and takes a nice edge! It has some spine wear but still measures 5/8th.

That is nice Gunner. I've never met a C-Mon that wasn't a heckuva shave. Here is my copy.

is there any razor you don't have Jimmy?

I don't have that 7 day set of Pumas . But I'm not giving up hope.

Very nice Jimmy! I'm pretty sure mine had the scales replaced and wish I had the ones like you have but hey as good as it shaves it's a keeper:-)
There are few razors that take an edge like that one and so easily.
