Tuckmar Solingen DE razor

[Jake]

Here's an unusual and unusually classy retro looking razor. Likely it really is from the 1930s and is in excellent condition. Really a nice heft to it and the grip, finish, balance -- everything seems well-engineered. Too bad it is such a rarely seen model.

Nickel plated over brass -- or so it seems.

Very nice set.

Nice Jake, I like that design on the handle - different.

Very nice! If it shaves as well as Tuckmar straights you are in for a real treat.

TUCKMAR , Tuckmantel And Martin of Soligen Germany, they also made Shavette style straights in 1968 (they patented it in USA/Pat#994850).

The handle is almost identical to the globusmann slant that sold for so much on ebay not long ago.

Assuming you are the owner, how about reviewing it in the B.O.S.S. thread with a few more pictures and telling us how it shaves.

It's not mine.

It looks scarily aggressive.

Yes, I want to shave with it. Nice.

Here's another Tückmar DE from Germany. One side is bar style, the other open comb! Seems to have a high quality feel to it. Jake seems to think these were made in the 1930's (at least his example). I'd guess a bit later for a date, at least for this one, but it's only a guess. This example seems to be a bit different from the other examples of this razor that are found online in that it has a RFB effect to it while the others are just curved.

Gives me a strong Merkur 34C dual comb vibe!

It's a slant, correct? I was having a little trouble seeing the photo.
Besides Tückmar I assume you looked into the Globus / Globusmann connection.

It always makes me gasp in admiration when I see a gentleman posting pictures of his elegant antique razors.
