Thread: I'm calling it my Waffle razor...

that looks like a real version of all those listed rusty things on ebay , if you know what im talking about !! nice grab ..

Hi, The razor is similar to many razors sold as antique Asian and also from India. The only difference is the fancy rescale. One I bought in tough condition has surprisingly good steel...car spring?
The honing and shave will tell the story.
That is cool piece!
Do a site search for Asian razor, there are some photos.

I know the Asian/Indian razors you are talking about, I see them on Ebay all the time however I don't think this looks anything like them.

Looks like Nike made the scales back in the early 70's with the waffle iron that they used for the prototype soles.

Whoever made it did a lot of work! Now on my desktop I can see the pinning of the scales and a bretter view of the grind. A nice catch you have made!
