Help needed identifying very old 9/8 monster

The advice I'd give a person with a 9/8 razor is that life is worth living.

Yes. The razor was made by Abraham Knyn, Solingen.
The Knyn family was in business since 1683.
Abraham Knyn was born on 2 Jun, 1831.

Just found this photo.
Not exactly the same but the AK seems to be joined:-
Gebrauchsmesser

Well I think that combined with Manah's input solves that little mystery

Oh my, oh my. I want the razor on the cover of Rasoi e Lame, Barbe e Baffi!

I really don't care how well it shaves. I just want it!

(I may have a thing for really old razors.)

Manah, you are totally on my list of people to visit when I travel the world in search of razors. :D

Thanks so much for sharing this with us Manah.
Will add these to my list :tu:
Would you be able give your opinion as to the age of this razor?
Judging from AK´s birthday circa 1860s perhaps?

Nice razor, wish I had one just like it

I have been wanting to find a BIG razor for a long time.
I didn´t expect to find one here in Spain.
Still waiting for a W&B 9/8.
There is always something on the shopping list right?
;)
