Thread: “The Eagle Brand” – any information?

I recently bought this beautiful razor made in Germany.
It is nickel plated, 6/8, and the vendor says “plus hollow” which I don’t know exactly what this means (full hollow?), anyway to me it seems something like ¾ hollow.

Engraved on the tang is the word “Extra Hollow Ground”
On the reverse is “Made in Germany
On the blade there is “Eagle Brand”& an Eagle


I have no information about the manufacturer. If you have any information please post it.
Thank you.

My guess (and it's only that) is it was made by a generic razor maker and he put that name on it for sale by a specific retailer.

I have seen those from several different brands, I am sure it is OEM .
Those are very nice shavers none the less.

Is it possible to figure out who might be the original razor manufacturer?
Or should I just consider it a no-name Solingen?

Isn’t it strange that in is nickel-plated?
I haven’t seen many.

I have seen many, with different brand names associated. I happen to have a Dixon 'Improved Eagle' razor that looks identical, except Dixon put their trade mark on the tang.

I wonder if it was some kind of one time production run, a commemorative issue of some sort.

That etching looks great. You seldom see it that defined. Good job Slur!
