Greetings all.
I am new to the razor forum but not to blades. I bought this straight razor in a lot of 4 at a recent auction in Cape Town South Africa. Not too sure of the maker as the blade holder? has worn away part of the name. Can anyone shed any light on the material used and the maker. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. I can't help, but I'm sure someone can.
I would guess celluloid based on the lines shown
Welcome to the forum
All I can make out is J. J. Den???

Use a loupe and see if you can make out any more.
Still searching but welcome. Glad to have you with us.
I think the other side says Sheffield Steel,Real Hollow/GermanyQuote:

Possibly a contract razor since this Denton was a heairdresser's supply.
A pencil rubbing may bring up the missing letters.
J. J. Denton, manufacturer of knives, razors, scissors, cutlery, 97 Whitechapel, Liverpool.
Thank you all so much for your helpful tips and yes the pencil rubbing has revealed J.J. Denton. I am truly grateful for all your help. Incidentally, the company listed a trademark in the US for various items. Cheers Alf.Attachment 328018
