    Default Kos-Mo What is it

    JA Henckels Twin Works 412 Kos-Mo
    I have never seen a Henckels like this before.
    What does the Kos-Mo refer to?

    Well, it is a Twinworks razor. This means for export in general. I expect it is in reference to Cosmopolitan!
    "Kos-mo". A sales deal.

    I rest my case.

    I had a Kos-Mo just like that, same scales, and the scales had bad cell rot. The celluloid breaks down into a vapor of either acetic or nitric acid, depending on the celluloid type. It trashed the blade. That spot near the heel looks like the same thing starting... I recommend that you get that blade out of those scales and throw them away. If you have other celluloid scales that have been stored near these, keep a close eye on them too, since the acid vapors can induce rot in celluloid nearby.

    Sorry to tell you bad news. Give the blade a polish with some Flitz or other compound, then keep it oiled.

    Good luck and best wishes.

    Could be a typo, Kos-mo would then be referring to Cos-mo; Cosmo Cat - Public Domain Super Heroes
    So, another razor for shaving cats!
