Am I starting with a bang?

As you seasoned members can tell by my post count, I'm a newbie. Looking through your razor database and subsequent Google searches I may have a bit of a mystery razor. Found at a local antique store, it has a rather thin spine which makes it extra sharp, albeit rather quick dulling it seems. Are there many "mystery razors" out there? Or is this simply a stock razor of some sort with a custom name stamped on it? If my pics are a bit hazy, the blade reads Hamburg-Hollow Ground Razor, and the tang is stamped MANUF. & WARRANTED BY D.B.B.&Co.


Also included is my modest "collection". I have been straight shaving for six months now and love it. It is a bit addicting searching estate sales and thrift/antique stores for "new" razors!

Welcome to SRP. I don't have any info on your razor but someone who does may be along sooner or later. Nice rotation you've got there and yes, it can be addicting. :)

There seems to be countless manufacturers over the years. About a dozen really stand out because of longevity and steel quality. Don't immediately discount the lesser known brands. One of my best razors is a no name blade that was forged in Solingen. It's nice when I look for it on eBay because there is no bidding war to contend with or high dollar starting bids.
