Well, today I was lurking on ebay going through a bunch of razors, and found a bunch I would have loved to bid on, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. So, I did the next best thing and headed out to the Antique Store, to see if I could tame my needs, and wants.
Well, I found some odd ball brands, and one that has some local history with the area I live in. I thought it was very cool!

The area I live in has a huge German back ground. The local city, Kitchener, actually use to be called Berlin. When I saw the markings on this blade, I was pleasantly surprised. I got home here and did a google search on E.O. Ritz & Co. and it turns out it was an old drugstore in Kitchener, or, Berlin as it use to be called. I really think it's cool that I found a locally distributed razor. Wish I knew what razor maker made this for them. This is what I found on google.

The other 2 razors are also pretty neat, and had to do a search on here too. All should clean up well. Top is a Krusius brothers, Edge Rite. Second is a no name Solingen, third is a Eriksson & Bijorklund, No. 3 5/8, and the last is the local blade, unknown maker.
