    Default Really nice early Christmas present.

    My mom gave me the following razors. I never knew about them, but apparently she's been hoarding them for ages. They were given to her when my grandfather died. She said he bought them when he was stationed in Germany (I think she said this was in the late 40s?). They look like they're in pretty decent shape. There is some mild rusting on some of them, but the blades look mostly flawless. I imagine when I have some extra resources, I should have them given a once over.

    Pretty psyched on these and wanted to share!

    Lovely spinework, looks like a very nice set.

    That they belonged to your grandad makes them even cooler, I would have loved to have a piece of hierloom like that.
    Congrats.

    I'm a bit of a novice. I think they are made by Solingen or Schulze. I'm not sure what's the brand marking. See here: http://cl.ly/0V3F3I2C0P3h062s1T3g

    Each of the 7 has a different German city, too.

    Nice set. And it was made by known Solingen company - Paul Schulze,
    Solingen-Weyer in 1922, 1925 and 1928, Brüderstrasse 24 in 1939 and 1983.
