Mysterious magnetic razor
Hallo everybody,
A couple of weeks ago I met a straight razor at a flea market, which is making me go crazy to identify it... Can somebody help?
The blade is 11/16, round point, it might be a very consumed 6/8 and if it is so it's a full hollow ground.
The scales look like they are celluloid, or some plastic similar to it. the touch and the reflexes on them are like those of my Dovo Renaissance's, which are celluloid.
Now the hard point: the stamps have been hardly grinded away by the one(s) who cleaned it before it fell in my hands, and they almost deleted everything. As you can see from the pictures, on one side you can read "1 ----- ROKI" and on the other side an incomplete "Wald - Solingen / Made in Germany".
What really struck me is that the steel is magnetic. I've read different opinions on this kind of steel, but I can assure that it's extremely sharp, I just need to strop it a couple of times before using it.
It's an excellent shaver!
Thanks to who can help!
