No-Name razor ID help, please
This little razor just arrived in the mail, and I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of its origins.
The blade measures 21/32", but I guess that's 5/8", nominally. The only markings are the ones visible on the blade's show face. There are jimps on the underside of the tang, and they're kind of odd: they're rather crude, and extend back onto a rather abrupt transition into the tail. There's also a tiny notch above the heel...it appears to be original to the blade. The scales are Bakelite, or some similar material. It arrived wicked sharp.When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

Thanx SS502MC!
Except for the lack of some markings, my razor sure does resemble the Kukri razors in the thread that you cited. And it's reassuring that the brand apparently shaves well. I'm anxious to give it a whirl.When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.

It looks like an Antelope I once had. Like this! http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ery-works.html

You're right, sharptonn, they're very similar shapes, and the engraving is similar, too.
I like the comments about the razor being "smooth", "sleek", and "elegant"; I decided to buy it based on its sexy style. And I'm really pleased that you found yours to be a fine shaver!

Thanked: 884I'm thinking turn of the century up to the 20's. MAGNETIC was a buzz word of that era.
