Monopol is one of the brands of the Friedr. Baurmann & Sohne.. I bought the last of the straight razors they had in 2004 and sold them on eBay and at my original web site. Kurt - the guy who owns Baurmann now - is an interesting character. He spent five years in Algeria including the four years of the Algerian War. He participated in the Foreign Legion mutiny and was banished to the desert with the other members of the Legion who participated. He doesn't speak a word of English and I do not speak any German so I communicated with him through online translator programs.

Wow, what a set to get as a gift! Do you know how much the friend paid for them? I'd be repaying the favour with a good bottle of his favourite spirit.
