Help Identifying prototype vibrating razor?

[peter322]

Gents, I acquired this razor from a fellow member about 2-3 years ago and then went on a brief forum hiatus while over in Spain. I'm back and looking to put this bad boy up for trade in the BST forum, but I just can't remember what it's called or when it was made, etc! It has a spring bottom you twist, which leads to a vibration effect (similar to current day models) and a smooth shave. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry about the picture quality, I'm pretty much a rookie photo editor and it took me forever to resize these pics. PM me if better pic quality is necessary and I can email them to you.

The name is stamped into the bottom. It's a Stahly Live Blade. They were produced for a number of years, and were, I believe, the most popular of the vibrating razors.

Ok, thanks, I wasn't sure if that was the brand or if might have been missing part of the name or what not.

I have one with the same leather case.

Thanks for the help guys, B&B never ceases to amaze.

Works a lot better if you take the head and put it on a normal sized handle.
A truly great and under appreciated head design, most people only see the massive handle and not one of the most finely crafted heads ever put on a 3 piece razor.
