    Default A really pretty Solingen?

    I really do have to slow down now. I may well have the beginnings of a collection. Now I have to learn to shave, as soon as I find a honemeister in my area.

    Today I went out and found a good old strop. "Genuine Russian Tannage" #995 with a "Silk Finish" #450 linen back. I'm well pleased.

    Got an old Wosty in a box that seems to have a good edge and spine.

    Then I found this boxed Solingen beauty that shows no wear at all. Does any one know the mark on the blade. It's an anchor with two crossed swords. The tang reads HERMANN MEHL BREMERHAVEN - LEHE on one side of tang and SOLINGEN MADE IN GERMANY on the other side.

    Anyone know what I have here. It's one of the prettiest I've seen.

    Very nice acquisitions! I have a Hermann Mehl Bremerhaven razor, pictured below. It wears pretty pink scales..(Pink, the new black!) Good shaver, too. Yours will do nicely when honed. The only thing I don't like is the gold wash, that wears off if you even breath hard on it!

    Default Nice!

    Very nice! Were those antique store finds? If so they were among the best shape I've ever seen out of an antique store.
