Otto Roth and the Rotbart razor company

[Kameo]

A kind of holy grail

;-)

No !! Not a Rotbart!

Well, you know the Rotbart mond extra Razor.
Mond Extra and Rotbart were two different pairs of shoes.
In 1925, the Büchner-Werke AG (Mond Extra) and Otto Roth AG (Rotbart) merged into one company, ROTH-BÜCHNER AG.
In 1937, this company was swallowed up by Gillette.
But now to the Razor.
This Razor came from Hugo Büchner AG before it merged with Roth AG.
So an original Büchner Mond Extra Razor from 1925.
Together with the serial number in the box on the Razor, this Razor is probably extremely rare. Nothing can be found online or in books. The model name (model 1925) can also be found on the lower plate. I don't really know, but I think this Razor is unique in this condition.
Maybe one or the other collector still has one, but as I said. You can't find anything about him.

My “Nr 15” upgraded to a Nr 7000. Intrestingly the name is blanked out on the box.

Rotbart Mond Extra

Otto Roth (pre merger) Rotbart. I’d tend to say it was inspired by the Richwood so 1920-25. If not then 1918-25.

Finished the case and found a better condition razor.

Here's another Luna Extra, this time with a closed bar and of course, the usual flat plate:

And the case:

I think I have a picture of an Otto Roth Rotbart, somewhere, but I suspect they didn’t mass produce razors under that label, blades and machines were his main business.
Büchner sold razors under the name Luna, Mond and Mond-Extra were his blades.

I have two Mond razors. They seem not to be that common. When ever I saw a Mond razor I bought it. So far I only had two opportunities
