Got my first razor - looking for some history

Hey guys, as the title says I just picked up my first razor and I'm curious of a direction I might be able to look to get some history on it. I've never heard of the brand and google didn't give many answers. I'm mainly curious of roughtly how old it might be, where it may have been made and any info on the maker if any exists. Heres a pic

there is a number "236" on the opposite side of the blade and thats all the markings I see. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Regardless I'm just happy to have my first blade and once I get the rest of my supplies I can start learning to shave all over again lol

Thanks a lot

Send that puppy out for a professional honing,and enjoy the journey.

I have shaved with a Peres and can attest that they are excellent shavers.
