Hi Zephyr! SSA was the successor to Johan Engstroms razor company (SSA = Swedish Steel Forging Co. - Svenska Stålsmides Aktiebolaget) whose director was Fahle Hammar. SSA was represented in America by Eric Mellgren, the sole agent, of New York City ca. 1918 - 1920.

Greetings from a new member
I have this one called The Kaiser. It's by Cywan & Paro and made in Solingen Germany. I haven't found much on it so I assume it's kind of scarce.

I have an SSA marked Mellgren and Sweden on the rat tail. Very tiny stamping one above the other. The blade measures 9/16 as near as I can make out and is a full hollow. I would not mind finding a bigger wedge version.

Unable to think of anything but old razors is an excellent description of most of my days. Originally Posted by Neil Miller

What an awesome thread
I like seeing rare and unique things.
Would an "Otto Deutsch Messeredge" Wedge count as not often seen ?

Welcome to SRP. Well, I don't know how rare it is, but I've not seen that maker before. Thanks for the photo. How does it shave ? Originally Posted by Section10

Mappin Lancet Edge. They're as rare as hens teeth.

A good deal more attractive than hens teeth though, and likely more useful too! Originally Posted by johnmrson

My daily shaver is a NOS roundtip Meyerherm & Co from Solingen. Have never seen that maker before but mayby not so rare?
