Identify this mystery razor

[joke1176]

I bought this razor from ebay for $16, I cannot find any info about it online.
Help a brother out!!

Hi Bro, this is a "Rudolf Wagner" - Gräfrath Solingen. A usual Blade from Solingen. Quite good, but nothing special

I got this one for an everyday workhorse, so wasn't expecting anything other than a Solingen blade that shaves well... I will test drive it today and see.
Thank you very much for the ID! I knew I could count on the guys here for help.

By the way, how did you know all that info? I looked on the net and came up with nothing.

This is not really surprising, i am from Solingen ;-), I live here since 35 years. I saw many of this razors during all the time.

Looks like a good one to me. Get it properly honed and have fun!

Wow, El Caiman!

So, what are the really special and good Solingen blades in your opinion? I do have my own ideas, but would definitely like to hear from you on this, if you care to share

Cheers

I have honed it and used it 2-3 times and am happy to report it shaves mighty fine! Pretty good deal for a few bucks.
