Hi all I am sort of stuck as I have a razor in my posetion that I cannot find any information about!
It has no marks on the blade but the tang has a little man holding a fish as you will see in the picture and next to that STESONS SPECIAL. The other side reads made in germany.
What a little gem it is as it shaves wonderfully.
Any info would be great its 5/8ths
Hi,
Judging from the logo, your razor was probably made by the Paul Kohl Fisher Works of Solingen, Germany. Sorry, but I can't help you with dates of production.

Cool !! I retired from Stetson University and live on Stetson street, and wear a John B Stetson hat. You can just send that one to me. Thanks, LOL Mack
That is indeed a Paul Kohl Fisher Works razor. There were two slightly different versions of the man holding a fish trademark, but both were his. I don't know the Paul Kohl timeline either, but he was in Solingen. I have to tell you that they are FANTASTIC shavers when properly honed. I have three and don't plan to part with any of them!
Thanks for the heads up guys.
There's a club here for you :D http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...lers-club.html
Ok. If that razor was made by Paul Kohl Fisher Works.
Who made this razor?

An enigma! what a spot we are in now
Thanks and now joined the Anglers club
T S Kaye was a tool merchant in Pasture Road, Goole, 1937. Like other entrepreneurs he probably requested a shipment of razors with his name on the tang - not at all uncommon then, nor now.Quote:

May be, I agree. It was a usual fact. But stamp "men with the fish"?
I stipulate that ALL of the razors pictured in this thread were made by Paul Kohl at the Fisher Works (Fischwerwerk on some of his razors). I enter the photos below in evidence. What do you think?
Well guys the razor was worth keeping as I have just honed it to a very sharp edge and it shaved my heavy beard growth with ease and to date it has been one of my best shave on par with my puma.
Thanks to all for there info now I have one more good razor that I will not be letting go of in a hurry!
Nice, always a joy to try out an unknown razor and find it's right up there with one that cost you a pretty penny more.
OK, you guys are good at spotting the Fisher, but can you identifiy the following razor? I know nothing about it. The picture shows the only marks on it. Thanks.
