It looks like one, however, the one I used to have had Hoffritz stamped in the case and at the bottom of the handle...
Can't see any markings in the picture, but looks like one, or a very good copy of one.
James Bonds favorite razor. Congrats.

Hoffritz, Coles, and Pomco were all rebranded Merkurs. It could be any of those or some I'm not aware of.
Yes

It could be one of the other "brands" that Merkur made razors for but it is the same razor.
Don't worry Luc, your old razor is being well cared for

Not worried, I know it's in good hands!

Thanks, Phil. The Bond factor is one of the main reasons I was seeking one of these.
I saw that lot on eBay, and was particularly curious about that razor. I was going to bid, but was at work when the auction ended. I'm glad the razors ended up in good hands.
That's a nice razor, I love my slant.
Bond's razor was almost assuredly a re-branded 15c.
"Hoffritz on Madison Avenue for one of their heavy, toothed Gillette-type razors, so much better than Gillette's own product".

Cory, when it arrives, please take pics of it and tell us what you think of it. It looks very, very nice.

Will do! I'll be using the baking soda trick that Brian showed a few weeks ago on it.

Brian's baking soda trick worked great.
Here's how it cleaned up:
And now to shave with it...
EDIT: Shave wasn't bad. Three small cuts. I need more practice with it.
another edit: I had a little bit of tiny stubble on my neck left over. I went over it again with the slant, and I am completely BBS and irritation free. This razor does wonders.
