Thread: Najeeb

Anyone ever shave with one of these?

Oo the name doesn't inspire much confidence - Paki?

Nope, I haven't--but I'd like to see the whole blade.

Close, well, sort of. I am not really sure. I think it was made in Turkey. Or Najeeb was from there.

Could be John Najeeb from Sheffield for all we know Proof is in the shave!

I got really excited when I saw this thread. Najeeb is my father's name! He's 100% paki though...
also, Malluk and Malik are common last names from the same region.
that doesnt bode well for the quality of that razor...

Where'd you get it? I might pick one up just to have as part of the collection!

Looks like the statue of liberty on the blade....

(igga beat me to my comment in his reason for editing)

I found it at a local Antique mall. I always seem to find some of the obscure manufactures.

Here is another pic of the blade. Yes, there is the Statue of Liberty with a boat sailing to it. That is a little anachronistic. I mean by the time the Lady was built weren't we a bit more modernized? On the top it reads, 'America my Home.'

If you look here Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation there is a Najeeb Malluk listed. Considering the blade etching this might be the one. Very interesting SR for a few reasons. Nice find.
