Something that I have been wondering since I began this journey is - what are the numbers stamped on the tang of a lot of razors?
Does it indicate the number in the production run or is it something more complicated?
Cheers,
Geoff

Generally these numbers indicate a model or style to distinguish them from other razors made by the same company. Most are simple 1, 2, 3, or 4 digit numbers, but some like Robeson, used a more complicated numbering system with six numerals/letters to identify their blades.

Model/pattern number ...version number, nothing interesting.:)
But it helps to identify the razors.
AFAIK, only Soviet razors have the numbers on the tangs, which mean the year of production.
In Soviet Russia, razor shaves YOU ... oh wait ...
