Bulgaria has treated me well recently. Let's hope that streak continues.

I have no idea who produced this razor...

Thanks for stopping by!
 
Went to the flea market today and found what I believe to be a genuine "Black Beauty" in pretty nice shape. Still works perfectly after all these years. Maybe some of you can tell me more by looking at the pictures, as I've never used antique razors before. Only Merkur, Muhle and others that are made today. Going to give it a thorough clean and disinfection, add some oil to the moving parts and Monday evening I'm going to shave with it.

Handsome super adjustable right there. Underneath, I think I can make out a 1 but there should be a letter as well. You can match the letter and number to find the year and quarter it was produced.

Thanks for the tip. The date code is U-4. So it would date from the 4th quarter of 1974, as I've determined from another website.

Strong scent but lovely one. Watermelon smell is the most dominant and Lemon comes in later. Reminds me of Jolly Rancher/ Trident Watermelon gum.
 
We need more information! Scales look like a Feather clone, but I take it this one uses half-DE blades? I'm guessing it's a Chinese clone purchased off AliExpress?
ding, ding, ding, correct!!

Kind of a Frankenclone actually. It's modeled after the Kai Captain (only made for half-DE blades), but the scales more closely resemble the Feather SS. Comparison to Kai pics below.
