    The first razor comes from this company:

    Otto Birkhofen, Solingen-Wald, Wiedenkamperstrasse 18 in 1939. Brand names: 'Albertoblade', 'Birko', 'Doppelschmied', 'OBW', 'Polo', 'Thonoco', 'Umberto'. Open-blade razor maker.

    I can't seem to find the manufacturer of the TOP branded straight razor.

    Bringing this old thread back to life.

    I have now found another user with a "Polo" razor, and with the same two-whatever (probably flags) logo.

    Mine is in my introduction thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/begin...ew-guy-ba.html

    Looks that my razor is about 80 YO...

    Looks like nice Solingen steel. The second one looks fantastic in both blade and scales.

    Thanks for sharing.
    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
