Thanks Nanjinger. Really interesting. At least we know now and I won't feel bad about grinding one into a spike point. :) You're right though, still pretting good razors, and if they are DAs, the...

Hey Mschwenkm you may have a point, but then again for Chinese store owners that can't speak English let alone German, it is sometimes easier for them to go through a distributor. Also, as she only...

Yes, it was exactly the same. I told the lady when I bought it about the misspelling. She said she didn't know about it, but had bought 5 or 6 razors years ago and the 2 that I bought were all that...

hehe... I'll get that right in the mail. :) Actually, I figured it would be delicate. Just didn't think that alcohol would take it off. Luckily, I bought the other one last week. So, at least one is...

So I got tired of waiting for my new hones and strop to arrive, and just decided to try to hone it up on my old Chinese waterstone, and strop it on some linen. It was popping hairs on the back of arm...

Hey Guys,
Some really good replies and interesting reading. I will try to set up a photobox to take better pics sometime this week. However, the more I look at it, the more I go back to it being...

Yeah I am with you John C., no doubt about the box. It is the black plastic and had the gold sticker placed across for the seal. It was unbroken, and when opened it had the Dovo wax paper. It looked...

You may be right. I was just comparing it to the only good photo I found online. This "b" is much more pronounced. Taylors1000 Straight Razor ebay sales However, that could have always changed with...

Yeah, I had the same thought. I am not in a rush though. Like I said, the lady at the shop said they had been there for years. Next time I am in the area, I will go by and pick up whatever else she...

Hey Guys,
Lots of good info. I really want to shave with this thing, but I don't want to put it on my cheap stones that I bought here. I am trying to have a friend bring back some new hones for me,...

Hey Guys,
Concerning the mystery "SLRMANY" razor:

Not looking to get rid of it. Like you say it may be unique. Just sent off an email to Dovo to ask about it. However, if it is a one off I could buy the other one there. When I went to the store,...

Yeah, I am going to try dropping them an email now. I may go back and buy the second one and open it in front of them. If it has the "Made in Germany" stamp, no worries, I have another razor....

Going back to read up on the Fritz Bracht blades now.

Yeah, the same page I found. It's where I got the @aol address.

Yeah, like I said, with all the other details right, why screw up that one. Unless they thought it would keep them from getting sued later. Unlikely though.



I couldn't find any other...

Here is a bit closer/clearer pic of the stamp (more fingerprints though):

Yeah, I may do that if no one else has seen anything like this before.

Yeah, that was my exact thought. Seems impossible to have a plate that is off, especially for the COO (country of origin) mark.

And she is more upset that someone would want to cheat her. The...

So I am not the only one baffled. My girl feels really bad about it.

Hey Guys,
First I want to say thank you for the wealth of information on this forum. I am a straight shaving newbie, and there is no way I could have figured this stuff out without you guys. As I...
