    Thank you,

    For me this was a really nice find, because of the following reason:

    I inherited 2 razors given to me by my grandparents, they belonged to my great-grandfather.
    They were both stamped CH Suy Louvain, followed by Garanti and a number. Both had the Chinese head logo.

    Louvain is a town not far away from here and Suy is the store, which is still there. They imported razors and stamped it with their info, is my guess.
    After some research, I found that Goedecke, Solingen, had a brand name called Mandarin and also features a chinese head logo, so there might be a relation there.

    Anyway, one of the razors I inherited and the one I recently found have the same Garanti 468 number, so I found a duplicate of my GGF's razor.
    Pretty awesome for me personally.
