You know why the dude has this mean look on the blade?
It's because it's designed to be a mean razor like Mao Tse Tung's Revenge.
You better send it to me. I know how to turn him into a pussycat.
Har har.
Nice find!
Looks like it is from Goedecke & Co GmbH, 1898.
It's a round tip 6/8" in great shape that is a little uncommon with the etching/emblem and that's the kind of thing I'm looking for these days.
I'm on a roll. My last two razors...Mandarin and Plumero.

The Mandarin reminds me of that Christopher Lee movie "The Terror Of The Tangs" ;)
Congrats, you really are on a roll. The uncommon is always interesting to me also.
Bob
The roll continues...

Mandarin are some fine razors. I like that yours has the etch. Mine is post 14 in The Hall of Heroes https://straightrazorpalace.com/razo...-heroes-2.htmlQuote:
