A razor that has a personality problem.
So I just got this gorgeous 15/16 carbo magnetic razor from an eBay seller. I had read that that were made in New York, but this one has written Germany works on the opposite side of the tang. Here are a couple of pictures:

Really sorry to hear about the "personality problem", and that it wasn't made in NY. Those crappy German made razors are a real drag. Send a PM for my address and I'll relieve you of the problem .....
Kidding aside, that is a beauty !

It probably has a superiority complex because it knows it's such a good shaver!!
That one is in really nice condition.
Enjoy

Hey Martin
Correct me if wrong from that info I can conclude that the razor was made before the 1940's
Does the no ground, and no hone advertisement indicates that the razor
A) should not be honed
B) doesn't need to be honed
C) no grinding or honing were used to create a factory edge?

That is all pure hype. It is high carbon steel and was forged, tempered and ground just as any razor is. Never was a razor that didn't need to be ground and honed. The magnetic part is also marketing hype as is the 're-carborized steel'.
