Fasan - just arrived!

[4ckb]

So this came in the mail today. This is the first Fasan in my collection of vintage razors. The razor and case are both in very fine shape minus a bit of the label missing on the inside of the lid. The slant on this razor is serious! I have a Razorock 37 Slant and it can't hold a candle to the angle of this Fasan when held side by side.

I don't know too much about it and there doesn't seem to be too much info online as far as model, year produced, etc. Any help my fellow B&B members could provide would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

This was all I could find from the Safety Razor Compendium. Not much, but something...

It's a fine looking razor. Enjoy the shaves!

I know nothing other that it is a very nice looking razor. Congratulations.

That brochure is just pre-WWII. Likely 1938 or 1939. I'll check to see if I can locate images of the printing date.

They're excellent razors, at least the three I've owned. The one I still use has a metal handle and plastic head, and I think it's at least as effective as any modern DE razor, and better than most. You used to be able to get them for £20 to £30 from some European sellers, but they all seem to be quite a bit more than that now.
I seem to recall reading that the company kept going through the 1950s, but can't remember where I saw that information; probably in a thread somewhere on here.

Thanks for the information, gentlemen.

Very very nice! A great thread.

Sweet razor! There is a case less one just like that on the etsy under "bakelite safety razor" right now, eh?
