Picked up this razor recently. Honed up nicely, shaves nicely, but other than the stamp "Golden Shaver" and a little gold-wash at the pivot, there is no other identifying marks on this razor.
Anyone ever hear of this brand?

Lawson, before I offer my expertise, let me start by saying I enjoy many of your posts.
However, this razor has you stumped simply because you are reading it wrong.
The razor reads: Edited, what it looks like cannot be posted Enjoy the shave...
It does look a lot like Golden Shaver to me also. You can see the end of the A curving from the bottom to the V in Shaver. I would beleive an O would curve at the top and the word would be a little longer.Quote:

No, it's definitively "Golden Shaver." There is no question about the "a" and the close-up with enhanced contrast below is clear:
Awesome LOL!Quote:

Golden Shaver products, buy Golden Shaver products from alibaba.com
You will probably get way more hits if you search for Golden Shower... I'm just saying.Quote:

It's time to drop this line of thought. If I had caught it before so many people had commented on it I would had deleted your post. SRP is not the place for this kind of posts now or in the future. Consider yourself warned.Quote:

I'm sorry if something sounded amiss. It was not my intention.
And I'm still in the dark on this razor in a site loaded with experts on straight razors.
Mod: feel free to delete the whole thread if it's offensive. I still don't get what the joke was.
Just googled.Quote:

I think I need to stay away from here a while. I enjoy a little off-color humor now and then, but this is disgusting.
Bye guys.
Some perversions are best kept quit and that was one of them.
Back on Topic: The razor keeps eluding me and now has my interest, much like the one I posted about a month back.
Lawson there was nothing wrong with your OP. You are not responsible for what an individual member posts in reply. Keep comin' back. :)Quote:

I have been searching for a little while on and off since yesterday and the closest thing I can find besides the electric razor I posted about earlier is that Golden Shaver is a name of a few Salons and Barbershops.
There is also a mention of a Golden Shaver Men and Women Grooming, They sell hair care products and they might have sold straight razors at some time since straights were used frequently with barbers. The place looks like they have been in business for some time now.
Hope that helps some in your search. Best of luck
Thanks for the info. This razor has honed up really nicely. I can't decide if the razor "feels" more like Sheffield or German steel, if that makes any sense!Quote:

Obscure razors are fun!
I agree, obscure razors are interesting. One of my best shavers is $10 "hardware" razor. I'd sure like to know where the steel comes from, USA or Germany would be my guess.
