Ha! That Rexall is proper goofy! Slant blades, too!
Hi,
Well, the Slant-iers all *said* to think Guillotine as to how Slants work. It is only fitting that one of them made a razor to take blades that look the part!

Your Souplex looks very like my Big Ben. The case and head look identical. The Big Ben handle is hollow. I believe the Souplex is solid?
If it's a fantastic shaver they may well be the same.

Very similar to my Paragon
Is it the Paragon which has a solid handle? Just noticed the Paragon comb looks a tad different. The teeth on the end are wider on the Big Ben and Souplex.

Ah right thanks for that info. One did have a sold handle though.
I seem to remember it being mentioned, maybe even in this thread.
Not that it's overly important. They're all great shavers then is the important thing.

My Paragon handle has closed end.
Don't worry, it's always nice to see not-often-seen razors such as yours I particularly like the Big Ben and its boxes
We already talked about the Famex "Cage head" razor, here are mine :

Oh my! Those are beautiful. I have never before seen a Famex like the cased one on the left. Very Nice!

Great score.
No identifying marks on this one. Very aggressive.
prewar German?
That's had a lot of use eh? The handle knurling has nearly gone in places.
Mind you it was a long war.

Thank you gents ! The big one on the left is indeed very scarce, I never saw it elsewhere, so I had to buy it.
Bought this on the Bay from Czech Republic ,looks French? No marking on case or razor .Comes with styptic stick holder .Thought Cha- Wing!! might have seen this before

Sorry I have never seen this one before, but I love it ! I've seen some similar handles, but on short-screw models, and they were not marked either :/
Found this at a flea market yesterday. Does anyone know anything about it? All it says is Germany on the base plate. The handle is solid brass and the head appears to be silver plated.
No idea ! But I think it's quite old, considering the fact that both parts of the head are flat, no tension of the blade :O
I was thinking the same thing. Using that one is all paying attention to technique and angle.
