So, I've owned this razor for about 5 or 6 years now (it was slightly nicer when I got it, however letting it sit on a shelf for 3 years caused two small rust spots to appear on it, one right over the P in "Palermo" I also chipped it when first honing it years ago (don't rinse a razor in a ceramic bowl) but I honed the razor until the chip was honed out and now it shaves very well.
However I have no idea what make it is. It's stamped Wald - Solingen though apparently that's not a brand, it also has the crown and sword stamp which I hear is an ERN thing, though it doesn't have ERN stamped anywhere on it.
I was given it by a family member who picked it up at an antiques fair for "around £10" though razors seem to go much cheaper in antiques fairs and local auctions compared to ebay, for example I have my eye on a set of 10 straight razors that's going up for auction soon with the estimate being £40-55 for the lot and most if not all are Solingen or Sheffield steel with a few recognisable names in the batch and the ones pictured look to be in okay shape.
Back on topic however, does anyone know what brand this razor is? Pics related.
