Clone of the Valet AutoStrop. Didn't buy it, but found this vintage razor for sale in Japan. Posted here to document this razor,
Shell No. 3500 safety razor, Japan
- Thread starter Feather-man
- Start date
Interesting... I wonder how many variations they made?
That copyrighted trademark sure looks familiar.....
Interesting mashup of the VC2 blade holder and the VC4 solid bar guard. I've seen at least one photo of a differently-branded Japanese AutoStrop knockoff, but I can't remember the name.
UPDATE: - Found it, "Bon Maeet", a VC2 copy. And then there's the "original" Feather copy too.
