Very interesting! It is so strange because it has the classic long handle that would typically be seen with the Barbasol floating head razor just without the Barbasol name inscribed around the bottom. I post a picture shortly.There are more unbranded Barbasol non-floating head clones than the real thing. I have/had three of them, all different.
Only my gold headed Bakelite handled one may have been made by the same company. The silver colored one has bad fit and finish and was definitely made by another factory. The brass colored one was made by Royal Crown.
I've seen the one you have on eBay many times and have not been lucky enough to score one at what I consider a decent price.
The one you have might be one of the best of the clones for me if the handle is hollow - I find the 90mm 50g hollow Barbasol handle to be perfection.
I would say that would be about correct on the weight.
The blades came with my cased floating head set. Brought them out for the pics of the new arrival. Ha.
I'll play...

Beautiful Barbie
I believe it's a "floating head", but all I know is it's a heavy shaver and shaves pretty close, so paying attention is important.

Looks like a Floater...
One of the few instances "A Floater" isn't a bad thing.

It a great thing congrats
Well I had a quick one pass head shave with the lovely Barbie just acquired from REV579...yow.. smoother than my R41..not as easy as my Fatip..but I know this one has a bit of a learning curve, especially as a head shaver given its heft. Glad to finally nab one.

Newly acquired fh Barbie, was frankly an eye-opener. I avoid thinking of razors as "aggressive"; I'm fairly sure they mean me no harm, generally. Two shaves in, I'm finding the challenge of a learning curve, for the first time. My R-41 was a quick read, never a scrape. I'll dial up any adjustable with the best of them, and a red tip is just another super speed (God bless 'em). But I've got weepers! And irritation! And an otherwise gorgeous shave, with the best one-pass result I've experienced, the irritation coming with trying to force multiple passes onto my lower neck. So I'm pretty sure the fault is mine, and very sure I will love this razor.
