Apollo cousins

[Jake]

I never tire of using these beauties. I know they are many more out there, some models I have but many I don't yet. Nonetheless, it's always enjoyable to observe, display, and share the charm of these vintage Apollo razors. And I wonder if the company originated in France, with that proprietary curved DE blade and then moved to Germany, or what the evolution of the company was.
In any case, here's some cousins, or perhaps siblings with their Mikron cousin.

Finish on these often fades due to the soft metal used on the heads -- possibly zinc. But these 3 are pristine and shave incredibly well and closely.

Their beauties for sure. I have one I'll never sell for that exact reason gives the perfect shave due to that curve. It's almost intuitive and automatically guides you to that sweet spot. Nice collection there Jake.

Jake, your selection from your collection is inspiring as always. Thanks.

Thanks gents! I was charmed once again by those ivory colored Bakelite cases. Really attractive presentation boxes.

Nice jake! I have one of those cases but the razor that is in it is unknown to me, not an apollo i don't think.
