Got this Danish MEM razor the other day. (the text on the box is in Danish)
The box is a bit worn, but is in one peace..
I guess it shaves like a tech, from the looks of it, but i have not tried it yet.

Very interesting, that MEM. My MEM is an Austrian SE slant:
Both very interesting ! Richard, would you happen to have more pictures of your SE slant ? I have never seen it, so I'm intrigued...
Gerbault has already appeared in this thread, but I don't think I have seen yet this travel set
Beautiful ! Indeed I talked about Gerbault, but this is the one I'm missing ^^
Very nice, thanks for sharing !
(now, where is that darn "add-to-cart" button again...)

STAR Razor a great little shaver similar to a Tech (IMV slightly more aggressive) with a nice grippy handle

And a nice box to boot !
one of my favorites, though I've never seen one boxed before, nice!
Thanks. An unsung razor similar to the under appreciated Krona...
Dang - uncontrollable razor envy here - being Danish (or at least Danish packaged) this razor is cool! Enjoy!
I only have one (all) Danish razor - the Raadvad Mejeskaer:
Beauty!
...And again you show this to me, Richard, you are cruel! - That is just a fine looking razor, case and everything. Don’t you think it’s time it came home to its native pastures?
Kiddings aside - that is a super score! - I keep dreaming of finding one in a flea market here in Denmark, but all I ever see are late 1960s alu/zamak Techs... But one day, sir, one day...

Here's some photos of what I believe is quite a rare razor, a slanted/comb by the name of Klapitt. This is the only one that I've ever seen. My understanding of the D.R.G.M. stamp is that this tells us the razor was made in Germany, and sometime prior to 1952. I don't know anything more about it other than it's an efficient shaver and that it requires the usual, or perhaps even enhanced, concentration or it can get a bit "nippy". I think that the handle may be plated in silver.
