There is a Hermann Mehl GmbH sheet and stainless steel company, but it's in a different part of Germany (Kernen near Stuttgart) and its history goes back only fifty years.

Hermann Mehl also made table knives:

Maybe the locality names may help us further. The knive has 'Lehe - Wesermünde' and your razor has 'Lehe - Bremerhaven'. Lehe got its first church around 1100. City rights were granted in 1880. It became an independent city in 1920, and ceased to exist as such in 1924 when it helped form Wesermünde', which existed as a city until 1946. Lehe became part of Bremerhaven in 1947.

I followed the links but they were all in German. How do I translate the Wikkepedia page?
Guess you speak the language. I never learned any. Sorry.
I'll see if I can find a translation.
Thanks

Yes, the ones for Mehl, Lehe and Wesermünde are unfortunately only available in German; just Kernen and Bremerhaven have a wiki page in English.

You could use Yahoo! Babel Fish - Text Translation and Web Page Translation for a (crude) translation. Just enter text or an internet address and select the to and fro language.
