Most unknown, best razor i have, would be my F.Klein 6/8 razor.
I would say it gives a better shave then all my other razors.
She isn't fancy but she shaves well!Last edited by Brighty83; 08-19-2011 at 02:16 AM.

The one that came to my mind, out of quite a few 'unknown' marque razors in my accumulation is stamped 'Salem Markos & Bros' over Warranted. No country of origin but the Warranted makes me think England. Could be somewhere else though. I have a friend who is really into DEs and I had some old Gillettes.
He is an antique shop hound and came upon a really cool W&B for barbers and offered to trade it to me for a couple of old and rare Gillettes. We came to an agreement and he mailed the W&B to me and threw the Salem Markos in for free. I was not taken with the round point and it was dull but not damaged. At some time it had been sanded a bit and had some scratches in the belly of the blade.
It is a quarter hollow with what I think are bakelite scales with a white plastic wedge. Just a plain jane razor. I forgot about it until one day, looking for something to hone and it caught my eye laying in the pile. I grabbed it up and it honed up easily and beautifully and shaves like a dream.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

The only information i have is: According to the town archive of Solingen the business of Friedrich Klein was licensed in Solingen in 1908.
So, if by chance someone else has one let me know

Burrell Top Flight? Does that qualify? Not much info on them, made in a really small window of time ('41- '42) from what I gather? REALLY nice to shave with; I have a 5/8 and it's incredibly fine...
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Grandad's Larkin... a most unremarkable offering with plenty of petina... kinda narrow... and worthless to anyone else, but me. Shaves wonderfully.

I've got a few French razors that are unknown brands but are excellent shavers. I think that the A Doupeux is probably the stand out though. It outshaves all my TI's and most of my Le Grelot's.
