    Default Help please! Looking for any info on this one...

    Family member bought this razor at an antique shop as a gift for me. No idea what they paid or what its worth. Im very much a n00b with straight razor shaving, Ive only had my razor for 8 months or so. Looking for any info on this razor. The scales are made of some sort of plastic and have a imitation wood grain finish. On one side of the razor it says THE SUPERIOR, and on the other side it says OPP'S B.S. CO, PUEBLO COLO, MADE IN GERMANY. Name:  photo (4).jpg

    What you have is a standard production razor made by any of hundreds of companies that wholesaled razors with the customer's name stamped on the tang. Opp's Barber Supply Co. put in an order for a quantity of these razors which they, in turn, resold to barbers or other clients. There is no way to know what company made the razor unless you had Opp's original order form. These razors are generally very serviceable and with a proper honing you should get many years of good use from it.
