Hi Guys
A couple of weeks ago i won a vintage german made Travel set on Ebay for a good price. The photo's didn't show the razor very well. I thought i was getting a generic german made DE. When it arrived i was surprised upon seeing the razor. I've never seen a DE like this before. At first glance i thought it was a slant but upon examining it the base plate is straight but the cap kind of gives it a slant look.The cap as you can see in the photo's below is raised on one side in a kind of triangular shape. I have no idea what the purpose of this design is for but i like the way it looks and i LOVE the way it shaves. I shaved with it twice so far and it knocked down 3 days growth like it was nothing. There's no uncomfortable blade feel and i got a completely BBS shave with no nicks or irritation using a Astra Platinum blade.It is a very efficiant razor and very heavy.
What is this razor? I have quite a few German made DE'S but nothing like this design.
Approx how old is it?
What company made it?
Please view the pictures below and any information is greatly applreciated.
