Can someone help me please identify this safety razor? The box looks like an aristocrat, but without the usual labels. I searched different wiki sites, but i didnt find an identical looking razor. It looks very oldschool. I purchased it on an auction site and didnt receive it yet, so these pictures are all i've got. Thank You
It reminds me of some kind of old type but the handle is different. I'm no expert just my 2 cents
I received the razor, but no new clues, i dont see any numbers or letters anywhere. I soaked it in hot water to remove at least some of the previous owner's bloody fingerprints and hair, and took some new pictures.
Seems like its not a gillette, because after looking at all safety's gillette ever produced and the internet has to offer, couldnt find a similar one. For example: mr-razor Gillette Rasierer
Looking at the blades:
Rasierklingen auf www.mr-razor.com
The gillette thin blade with a packaging like this was manufactured between 1956 and 1966. Like this: http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierklinge...in%20Blade.jpg
Then while writing this comment i searched for the rotbart be-be, and found this: Swingstyle :: Thema anzeigen - Rasur
I mean this picture: http://up.picr.de/2920599.jpg
The description sais the set is probably from the 50-ies. Its only a guessing from the plastic case and the other things, but at least something. And the razor on the picture i think looks familiar. The blade's packaging is different, but almost a match. Next i will ask the german guys in the forum, maybe they can tell me more.
dhorvath,
The head (shape, machining etc) looks mighty similar to those from Merkur open-comb razors.
Have fun !
Best regards

Looks like a Gilette Tech to me.
