    Default Could anyone tell me more about this razor?

    I found it after I'd sent my Dovo Pearlex back to Germany for refurbishing and honing.

    I vaguely remember a former girlfriend presenting it to me on my birthday sometime in the late 80's-early 90's. Any additional information is appreciated. My apologies for the less than stellar pictures; I'm still learning about Messrs. Resize and Composition

    Two companies used this trademark, as I know.
    One "Red Head" with large "R" was used by Bresnick.
    Another "red Head" with small "r" was used by Otto Fromm, Germany and Fromm Bros., Newark N.J.
    Otto Fromm was the owner of Otto Fromm Cutlery Co., Germany. He died at Dec. 1971, aged 77.

    Thank you manah. Is it possible to date approximately when this straight was manufactured?

    Very approximately, basing on similar razors, 1940's. IMO.
