"Sunrise" DE razor

[ZJan]

Yesterday I received a vintage "Sunrise" razor, here are the pictures:

I cleaned the razor in my ultrasonic cleaner, did the trick with aluminum foil, baking soda
and hotwater, then ultrasonic cleaned it again.
Now it looks almost like new:

Only information on "Sunrise" in Waits' Compendium:

... which is very little ...
On top of that, Waits lists a razor based on vintage Gillette "brownies" - which this
razor is not.

My question is: anybody who can give more information on these (Dutch ?) razors ?

Related to Eclipse? Only other razor I can think of with the name on the handle.

What trick is that? Thanks.

And congrats on your new razor!

Rotbart?

No, "razor suitable for Gillette and Rotbart blades".

Nice razor and excellent clean-up, congrats!

So, you don't know anything about it either.

I'm also interested to know what this trick is.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were a Rotbart. Looking at the logo on the inside of the lid in the Waits picture, that's a downright copy of a Rotbartlogo. Also, some models Rotbart Mond-Extra had similar display of model on the grip as this Sunrise.
Having the Sunrise (Sunrise Gold in Waits) and the Mond (Moon in German, usually Mond Extra with Rotbart) there's either some familyresemblance there or some serious "inspiration".

It's from the Netherlands, but I don't think it's a Rotbart product, the handle, head, comb, everything is different.

I know enough to see it isn't a Rotbart -- shape of neck, handle knurling, 13 teeth (Rotbart has 14) per side, and the bullets are too short and rounded among other things.

You're likely correct, a Dutch old type clone.

Outstanding! Enjoy!

Thanks, good info.

I never said it was, I was asking. I know very little about the Rotbart.

I have no idea what it is, but it sure is purdy. Congrats on a great find.

I like that handle style. Can you tell me if this one has the standard Gillette thread? And is it solid or hollow? And if hollow, does it have any cracks?

It's made like a Gillette Single Ring, the handle doesn't come off.

I'm not sure if it is related but I have a Sunrise straight razor.
