Thread: Ideas as to what this may be?

A while ago I posted a thread about a 'Cowboy' Solingen. The razor looked a little dodgy and lacked the authentic symbol that the vintage brand Cowboy used. I had actually already won the razor at the time. I hadn't touched it much as I was in the process of moving, but the other day I got it out and honed it earlier this evening. It takes a nice edge off an Escher and although I have not yet shaved with it, I can tell it is sharp enough for a shave.

I am left wondering what this is. The scales and pinning aren't great, but the grind looks to good to be done by an inferior brand, as I have held and examined Double Arrows and they do not even compare. This Cowboy has a modern type of brand stamp by the looks of it, but it is deep, not a mere etching or frosting akin to that of modern Dovos.

What are your thoughts? This blade is a 7/8 and has quite a long edge compared to most of my others.

To me it looks like a Dorko.

I can't be of much help as to identifying the blade, but I will say that it is beautiful! I'd call that a nice acquisition right there.

To me it looks like these 'warehouse' razors that have been coming from germany over the last few years.

But what are the 'warehouse' razors?

It looks like a real razor . It doesn't have that China/Pakistan look to it .
