August Schaff Razor?

[John_Roger]

I can't seem to find much information on this razor, anybody know anything about them? My dad picked one up in a lot with a J.A Henckles, and two Gillette super adjustables for 4 bucks. All I've seen is a grainy cell phone picture that he sent, and I won't get them for a week. They look to be in good shape from the picture.

Thanks!

August Schaff Razor?
Thanks!

Probably August Schaaf. Co-owner of Balke & Schaaf, a Solingen knifemaker, in business from 1890 - 1920. Very popular in Russia at the turn of the century. Should be a good razor. Balke & Schaaf knives are also quite collectable.
August's brother Carl Schaaf, owner of his own Solingen knife and razor business, was also a well respected manufacturer.
