Regeldso Info?

[wherndon]

I bought this off the bay a while back, I know nothing about it, but it shaves great.
The tang is simply stamped "Regeldso" on one side, "Solingen" on the other.
Any guesses to the age, or whatever.
Did I mention that it shaves wonderful.
regards,
Bil
oh, the inlay on the scales also says Solinger, Registered, in small print that may not show in the photo.

Nice razor.
Regeldso was a brand of Solingen razor maker Reinhard Geldmacher (REinhard GELDmacher SOlingen)
I couldn't find any definite dates of operation except that the company was still in business as of 1939.
There were also Solingen razor makers Erich Geldmacher and Gebrudern Geldmacher (Geldmacher Brothers) in business at the same time. All were located within a few doors of each other on the same street in Solingen.
Gebr. Geldmacher are still in the steel manufacturing business today.
I've seen several Regeldso razors so, while not on every corner, they're not that rare. All their owners rate them very highly.

The razor is from 1937, but the scales are pure 80's disco!


j/k!

Nice, classy razor!
