open comb grafco safety razor

[KES]

Picked up an open comb 3 piece safety razor today, and the only markings on it are GRAFCO GERMANY. The handle has a Mercury head on the base. I haven't been able to find anything about it. Thought it might be an old Merkur but I'm not sure. I don't have a camera to post any pictures, so my description will have to do. Any help is appreciated. Thank, KES

Is it locked?

I have one that looks like a Merkur closed comb and it's a psycho or prison razor.
The key goes up through the handle where the knob would untwist on a Merkur HD.

An open comb version would be amazing.


Merkur made many razors for other companies and I'm sure Grafco is one of them.

They made Hoffritz and Coles and probably Adams branded razors too.

I'm reading from my phone.

I see you said it's a three piece with a Mercury head at the handle end.

Merkur probably made it.

They made Adams razors like that too.

I bet it shaves great!

Congrats on the score!

Does it look like this? If so, it's most likely a Merkur rebrand. I like the shaves from it. A tad bit more aggressive than the current OC offerings from Merkur.

Nice find Keith, I've been slacking at the antique stores in town.

Yes, it looks just like the one you have pictured. It also looks like it was hardly used if at all. Thanks for the info, Keith

I recently acquired one just like in Krona's pic...if not the exact one ; ) nice shaver indeed.

It's the same one, and a few days later I located another one. Nice one to have.
