Very nice razors. If they have the factory edge and it is not satisfactory for you have one of the experts hhere hone them for you. It will be well worth the cost.

I didnt recognize the brand names, but feel free to send those beauties to me for a lengthy evaluation. How nice.

The Polo trademark was used by both Otto Birkhofen, who was at 18 Wiedenkamperstrasse around 1939 and by Max Paashaus who was in Solingen about 1932.

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.
