    A few companies made straights with comb or bar guards, but I've not seen one like that one before. Pretty cool!

    Zepp is nice razor. The handle is very unusual in shape.
    Safe Straight Razor Co. used this trademark 1920-1930.

    Straight out of the industrial age.... That thing looks cool. If Robocop used a straight razor I bet he used a Zepp!

    Interesting design, it's a one-stop grooming station for us goatee addicts. I just use my straight to trim mine while I'm shaving, but still that's a nice one.

    Never seen anything like it, but I dig the steampunk look of it.

    Every time I think I've seen everything, something else pops up on eFray... at least it seems that way.

    I agree, if anyone wanted a steampunk starter there it is.

    1913:



    It's very difficult to say for sure who made these razors.
    Several companies were the owners of ZEPP trademark.
    Here is ZEPP razor by Timothy Noonan & Sons, Boston.



    All razors are stamped Germany or made in Germany.
    Carl Friedrich Ern, Solingen-Wald was also the owner of ZEPP trademark.
    Possibly, his company made these razors for American market.

    Here's my Zepp Primus which has more conventional scales. It doesn't contribute to the subject at hand, but everyone likes a little razor p0rn.
