    Default Identification question

    Gentlemen, I've got a razor (I'll take some pics tonight when I'm back home) that seems to have a cartoon type of outline that looks like the side profile of a man. Any ideas? The name seems to be worn off.

    Yes, the razors made by these brothers Emil Engels (C.W. Engels) and Friedrich Wilhelm Engels (F.W. Engels) are pretty good.
