The Lion Safety Razor

[Hoffritz]

Hi Guys
I recently picked up this razor. The Lion made in Germany.
Has anyone come across this razor before?
I can't find any information on the internet.
Does anyone know approx the age?
I had my first shave with it today and it's a medium aggressive razor. Shaves very well.
Please see pictures below.

New to me!! Great looking razor!!

Rough guestimate 1903-1910. After Gillette became available in Germany and a few years after their patents were revoked.

Excellent score!

Cool, glad you had a good shave. My experiences with flat bed razors has not been so pleasant.

I don’t think that I have heard of them before. I certainly know nothing of flat headed razors. Very interesting find. Congratulations.
