Gillette Barber Pole Replica

[osvaldo86]

I have purchased this razor which looks similar to a Gillette Old Type with a Barber Pole handle. The shave is similar to the Old Type that I have, it is all brass and it lost all the nickel plating, the knob is solid has the same height as the handle which cannot be separated as in the Single Ring or as in the Merkur 34C. I don't know anything about this razor which has nothing printed, could someone help me identify this replica or if it is an original design.

Looks like a Wuttig Apparatebau (Hugo Wuttig).

Yes, I did a search for the information and it coincides with Wuttig Apparatbau, the only difference is that the one I have is in brass and according to what is mentioned in the information that I found, it is anodized aluminum.

Some are plated brass, others aluminum.

Browsing around B&B. Amazing expertise.

And it's a nice looking razor, too.
