I happened across this razor while I present shopping for my partners birthday. I was told of an antiques centre by a mate which was selling cut-throats for a tenner apiece (about $15) so I paid them a visit. Was pretty lucky as the stall holder was just opening up (most of the centre was closed, only this one chap had a few stalls open downstairs). I asked him if he had any straights and he produced a tray with about seven on. Most were pretty worn, all were in the wrong boxes (one was a Puma box but no Puma was inside ). There was also a Bengal with horrific hone wear.

This one took my interest because of the tang and the square notch point. Also it was in very good condition although tarnished. I bough one other which was a Solingen travel razor.

I have absolutely no idea on the history of this razor or the manufacturer. It is however a nice shaver and a pretty razor.

Thanks for the interest.
