    Default Horn razor?

    Hello all good people,

    I need little help with razor identification. No way I can determinate what razor brand is this one. Razor has horn sign on the tang and that`s all. It very similar razor I own. Thank you for your help.

    Best regards!

    Manah,

    You are right about last one but how about upper razor with posthorn mark? I check both of them and to me they look almost exactly the same however no single description on the blade.

    Hello all good people,

    since I have not find anything about this razor it will remain one big question who made this razor. Hope one day I will find it out.

    Hello good people,

    I had little more time today and I had refreshed this razor. I don`t have any tools beside Dremel so restoration is quite impossible for me. However I did my best and I hope this razor will serve me long time. I have purposely kept patina. I have decide to removed rust only. Somehow I thought this razor looks nice the way it is. Not honed yet so I don`t know if this is good shaver. I hope it will turn out to be great shaver.

    Thank you!

    OK, just an update. Gssixgun was kind enough during last Pacific Northwest Meet (Thank you Gerrit and Glen!) and prepared this razor for me. I had shave today morning. My statement is maybe "bold" statement but this "no name", "no brand" razor become best shaver I ever had. This is just an amazing blade. It is better that any of my DD I have. Way, way, way better....

    I wish I could help with the brand identification, but sadly have no idea. That is a very cool blade, and I like the fact that it has no descriptors but the horn with the C E around it. And I am very happy you have found your favorite razor yet!

    Glad it shaved well...

    That razor had a ton going for it from the start, and with the grind leaving a stiffer edge, I think you have a great shaver there...
