    Default Got these 3 in my mail today

    The first one is a travel razor made by Solingen.
    It has no other manufacturer, only Solingen.
    Also the spine of the razor is quite nice imo.
    Any background info on this one?

    The second one is a Charlex 7/8.

    Any comments?

    Sorry, had to split up the post.
    The third one is a Jungmeister 6/8.
    It has blond scales, any suggestions what they could been made of?
    Any background info is also welcome.

    If you have comments, please feel free to do so!

    That travel razor is interesting. What's it say on the tag, I can't quite make it out.

    Nothing on the other side? No hallmarks or anything else?

    Look like three very serviceable pieces. Those generic Solingen blades can be very good, I've yet to come across one that isn't, (depending on condition) but in the absence of a maker's mark it's difficult to say more other than I love the spine work on that example. Charlex was the brand name of Charles Hake, mine cleaned and sharpened up to a fine shaver. The scales on the third look like celluloid. Not much but hope it helps.

    No, nothing on the other side, nothing.
    only 'Garantie Solingen'.
    And 'Solingen' on the blade'

    I did some searching on the net about the Jungmeister.
    Is it true that Jungmeister is made by Wacker?
    So actually, my Jungmeister is a Wacker?
    Or am I mistaken?
