Thread: My collection of Danish razors

Christian Haug, Odense (city)







H.V. Jensen, København (The capital of Denmark). It also has a anchor on the tang and 14 on the reverse side.





Importören, København.





J.A.O. Beck Kunstsliberi, Aarhus (city)





On the tang it's stamped razor three stars registered along with 3 stars. The only evidence of this being danish is the original box that reads Bruun & Andresen, København, Three stars





I know that this Kaufmann isn't danish but it has a danish etch, Chr. Christiansen & Co, Kolding (city)

Interesting collection. They seem to have liked small size razors in Denmark back in the day. I am not aware of any commercial razor makers in Denmark so I would imagine those were imported blades made for retailers in Denmark.

Boy, They must like little blades over there. Nice colletion. Thanks for sharing.
I see Bob and I were typing at the same time.

Interesting to see a Danish focus, thanks for sharing. My guess is that the narrow 3/8s are more for hair cutting. At least that's what my Vosgian barber uses to cut my hair.

I guess they were imported too as it's extremely hard to find any information about them.

The first razor could be Marsh Brothers & Co Sheffield made razor.

The second razor with the anchor with a star may be a German razor but I can quite remember the company that used the anchor with star stamp. Same goes for the razor with the three stars.

You can find some info on your Henry Kaufman and Sons/Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne razor here Razor makers

Hope that helps a bit.

Bob

I didn't even noticed the star in the middle of the anchor and theres also a arrow. Well spotted Bob.

That is a mighty fine collection you have there.

The one with the anchor/star was made by Wester and Bruch, Solingen.

Interesting collection.

Speaking of Danish straights: do you know anything about the Barberians straight razors?

I saw one in a Silkeborg Matas shop while on holiday last summer, I sent them an email with a few questions in English but never got an answer.
There was also a strop on display in the same shop that looked a bit el cheapo.
