Help with identifying a razor?
Hi folks,
Pardon the noob interruption, but I recently acquired a straight razor, and to be honest, I know nothing about them. I'm including a photo of the razor itself in hopes someone can identify it and give me a little insight as to its history. I haven't found anything specific about it, although I have seen pictures of similarly-shaped razors. I am curious about how old it might be, what it might possibly be worth, and any other info you could provide.
The handle has the words "Vitesse Hand Forged" on it. One side of the blade is etched with "Für Extrostarken Bart" and is stamped with "Kiebitz Garantie" and a drawing of a kiwi bird. The other side is stamped with "Emde" and "(a letter that's hidden by the handle)EYER.SOLINGEN". It came in a box, but the label is missing.
Any info that you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed
