The "Not Gillette" Vintage DE Thread

[efsk]

Nice one. I have three copies of the identical razor: one branded Cowboy, one unbranded, and one branded Bush Weltmeister.

Not jealous at all !...

who am I kidding, it's gorgeous, congrats !

hi, guys!
can anyone identify this?
there's nothing written on the guard and the handle dosen't looks like a typical Gillette.

 

[Cha-wing!!]

Hmm... The case says "German" to me, but that's all. The handle top seems to be a diy-modification, but I could be wrong.

Rasoir réglable à cliquet - a French adjustable, which indeed "clicks" when you tighten the handle. That gives you 5 positions.

This is very interesting. It appears to be identical to the Famex and RazVite cage head "adjustable" razors, however, there is no makers mark.

If Thomas is here, maybe he can shed some light on the manufacturer of these.

 

[Cha-wing!!]

Famex made that razor, for their brand of course but it was also sold under the "RazVite" and "Bougies USA" brand.

I really don't know much. The "Bougies USA" version is known but extremely rare, congrats on getting one with case !!

Here's another version of the Famex/Razvite/Bougles USA razor, called an Autofix. On the plate it says "Soligen", "S.G.D.G." and also has "Bonsa" and "Famex" (stamped one over the other). Must be some kind of story to this one, given it's got indications of being both German and French at the same time!

Wuttig Razor, from Germany (not Solingen, but from a city near the Swiss border apparently). Aluminum. Extremely light in weight, and an unusual light green colour. Seems to have quite a modern design, to my eye, yet is definitely vintage.

Luso Razor, from Portugal:

Frimu Razor, from Romania:

Famex was a Solingen brand, produced by Bontgen&Sabin, who also made Bonsa, with the cagerazor apparently intended for the French market: the cagerazors are not that common in Germany.
In France lots of razors were used for advertising, or given away. So is your autofix.

I apologize, I forgot all about you asking me if I had any information on this razors. I don’t believe so, If I did, I don't remember what it was. I do have another razor with the same handle and base plate but a different cap and color.
