    Greetings all. Once again, thank you all so much for the help with last question. Walking back from the hairdressers this morning I bought this straight razor from a small shop. The razor scales( unknown material) have an insert "BEEKAY" in them and wording about the steel in the blade. Any assistance would once again be really appreciated. Cheers

    You might be able to find some info here https://www.archivingindustry.com/cu...azormakers.htm . Gremer could be the maker or importer and Beekay could be a brand name. Scales are likely celluloid.

    There is a Beekay Cosmetics in Kolkata India. Not sure if that is the same but if so it is a contract razor. That doesn't say who the maker is but my guess is that the box is not original to the razor. They are not matched what seems like more often than not when buying razors second hand.

    Yeah, looks like a nice razor. I am not help with information, though.

    If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.

    Looks like someone in India bought the rights to an old trade mark.
