My First Double-Edge Razor AND an antique

[bugler]

Hope somebody can recognize the old razor. It only has serial numbers E161829

The head is from a 1917 old type, but the handle is from a much younger Tech. That seems fairly common, probably because the old handles had a tendency to split. The original handle was likely a ball-end, possibly from a service set.

Yes. I knew something was fishy about this razor. Thanks mblakele for your input.

Fishy ? IMHO the fat handle is way better than the original, a lot of folks around here have one of these hybrid.

PS:Handle from the 40s.

What's the razor on the right? The head looks like a Barbasol.

I believe it is a Merkur 30c.
