“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.

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.

Why I think there is one already on here... Let me find it...
Let's see if I have a better view of the etching before it was restored....
Nope, I'm sorry those are the best I have right now... You can hardly see the etching anymore, but it is identical to yours except the working has been changed from 'Eagle Brand' to the 'Improved Eagle Brand' from Dixon.
My guess is they are generic Solengen blades that are blanked out to individual vendors. This one is a Dixon, which is the only Dixon I have.
Sorry for the crappy pictures

Very nice scales! What are they made of?
Is this a good shaver after all?
