The numbers means that 2 different razors were made. Each number (1 and 2) corresponds to the razor model. Model 1 was by Kempf labs in New York 1932 ...Model 2 was by DE HAVEN NY city, in 1929.....without the case it is easy to identify by the number
You model is from Swanton Ohio 1934-1936, there sevaral different ones made. There is another model called the De Haven Synchro-Keen No 1 ...I have a Model No. 3 which is marked on the top of the razor. Mine doesn't have a number at the bottom of the handle.
yes, it should take same SE bladesThanks for the additional info Alex. I just love the way these razor's look. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use mine as I can't get the blades to sharpen. But I see Rob has another post where he got a permasharp to fit his. Do you know if the #2 that Rob has above is the same blade as the #3 takes?
.Again, thanks for the info Alex.
ERVARGASNY have you ever shaved with your #2?
