These are mostly known as 'hardware store' variety. Every hardware, drug store, hotel, even ships had a razor with their name on it. MOST were made in Germany and even those from an American maker supplied to a hardware could sometimes be German-made. Them was the days! These most always hone up easy and shave the dickens. Most made good quality back then. They had to in order to survive!
Many blades entered after WW1 without country of orgin. This razor says neither here, nor there.
Tells me German-made. Been wrong before! :D
