Extensive list of German razor makers

[Kees]

I found this list of Solingen razor makers: listing many razor makers and their brands.

Something for the wiki?

I am not very good with the wiki so this might be something for the ICT gurus here.

Razor makers

Here is another list that matches brand names to manufacturers:

That is some list. Good job.

Thanks a bunch!

That is an amazing list.

I have to confess that I was struck by the number of names of people in the list. Before skimming that list, I never gave a thought to the distinction between the imprint of the name of a company versus the name of a person. Every one of those names represent the life's work of a man who made his living making those razors. Those razors represent a legacy of their work.

Can you imagine the surprise the makers would experience if they knew what has transpired since then? How pleased they would be that their work is still held in high regard? Their satisfaction level would be very high.

Many of their razors are likely to last longer than their tombstones.
