Um, what is this?

Came from the bay in a tech box. Only says Made in Germany on it.



Safety bar curls way down. Little but hefty handle. Noticed while cleaning that the magnet on the end of my pick set stuck to the handle and lower head.

I haven't heard of that. Got a pretty good shave out of it last night, even with a Merkur. Had to go German/German. What era?

Optimo had the name printed in big letters inside the base plate, and they were mostly Old Type heads in travel set collapsible handles

Wouldn't it say Gillette on it somewhere?

I can't tell you what it is -- beyond a generic German razor -- but it's definitely not a Gillette.

Works pretty well, and feels solid though. Interesting.
