Hoffritz N.Y. Germany

Hello fellas,
I came across these 2 Hoffritz slants, cleaned them up, they came up nice. Don’t have much info on them except that they look vintage to me but I could be wrong.

Nice looking razors. Congrats.

They look like rebranded Merkur.

The Merkur was actually a rebranded Hoffritz.

I'm not an expert on these, but they probably date from the mid-60s to maybe the mid-70's. Nice shavers. Congrats on the find.

I don’t think so.

I think that all of their products, even the knives (their main product), were rebrands from the Solingen area (Victorinox, Wenger, Precise International…). On top of the German products, they also sold rebranded Simpsons brushes and mid level products from Pakistan (bandage scissors…).

I don’t think they ever manufactured anything.

Wrogn. Hoffritz, most Pomco, Coles, Brumml, some others were all rebranded Merkur. The Solingen area produced a lot of products for these resellers. Not just razors, but cutlery as well. And for razors, Merkur was the place to go.

Happy to be corrected.

My turn to correct you. It's wrong, not wrogn. (j/k, I know it was a typo.)

Not a typo at all Among other things I like Punk music. In 1986, Dutch band B.G.K. released an album called "Nothing can go wrogn!" I've spelled it like that ever since.

Hello again everyone,

I just shaved for the first time with one of these 2, and it felt pretty similar if not the same as my Merkur 39c
