Two NOS Razors ? Identification ?
Hello,
These two " NOS " razors I have here originally belonged to my wifes uncle. They came with a group of others that are more common and recognizable brands.
I have been meaning for sometime now, to ask for your opinions on the identification. I'm guessing some of you out there may have some info. Thus far, I have been unsuccessful in finding any information specific to them. Just generic imports/knockoffs? What do you think?
I do appreciate your help on this - Photos below...
Update: I was taking a closer look at these and noticed that the Polo Soligen has a magnetic charge (carbon magnetic)
Best Regards

They are not knock-offs. Genuine vintage Solingens and superb examples, both shoulderless. I'd be proud to have either. Put them to use!

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.
