Many of us are familiar with (and appreciate) the Russian "Gillette Super Adjustable knockoffs" from the 1980's known by the names Rubin, Coronation, Konsul and a few other names. If you're interested in knowing more about the history of Russian razors there's a good website. Google "antik-forum.ru razor" (and opt for an English translation) and you'll find 158 pages of Russian razor history filled with photos and fun facts like:
"In 1925, the workshop was reorganized into the Leningrad State Plant of Meteorological Instruments "Metpribor", which was subordinated to the All-Union Trust for Optical and Mechanical Production, since 1931 to the All-Union Association of the Precision Industry of the Supreme Council of National Economy (since 1932, the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry) of the USSR."
Here's another "Rubin". It was made in Leningrad in the first half of the 1960's apparently. An obvious Rotbart 15 clone and shown here with two other 15's from I believe 1937 and 1952. There's also a shot comparing it to another Rotbart razor (a Tech type, not sure the correct name) which has the most similar handle to it. The case seems to copy the Gillette Super Speed. The razor was also marketed as the "Leningrad" from the mid 1960's until at least 1972.
