Thanked: 20Question On Razors
I bought these four razors and two seem a little questionable to my untrained eye. The two on top are the ones in question. The white scaled one feels like a Chinese or Pakistani knock-off when it rode the Aoto (Jimmy's HAD just hit me hard and I bought a new natural Aoto) and the other razor looks nothing like the W&Bs that I've seen. At any rate, my noob eye needs some help. Thank you all in advance.

I'd guess that the W&B was rescaled (and maybe a regrind?), but I can't say about the German blade.

Nice finds! You must have a gold mine down there.

Looks OK
Nothing there strikes me as fake, nothing wrong with rescales or regrinds. The "made in Germany" razor was probably just produced for a retailer somewhere. Fakes are generally prettier. I'll bet it hones and shaves well.

Looks like you did good. Is the top left a Puma? I can't read it....
We have assumed control !

Thanked: 20The one with white scales has a worked back. They seem to resemble roses. As soon as I can clean them up and hone them, I will write up every juicy detail on their shaving ability.
Top left razor reads "Extra Special."

The scales on the W&B, upper right, are exactly like the ones on my Boker.

I am fortunate to have such a wonderful wife. She has befriended a string of antique shops though out the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. She has networked herself into, "Antique shaving memorabilia," heaven. Every shop that has something come in will call and hold it before its made available to the public so that I get first dibs.
