I’ve given this a lot of thought especially since the hord of NOS Herders lately. The only logical explanation is time travel. That explains much.I looks NOS to me, which is a bit surprising since it is made pre WWII. I never stop wondering where some razors have been "sleeping" for many decades or even more than a century. In any case it's a very fine specimen.
Would be great to know your favorite finisher for that nice razor Andy. B&M Waves soap is outstanding too, just got mine.

That would be one explanation. Another possible one is that there are families that have the interest and room to store seemingly useless objects that once belonged to relatives so long gone that no today living family member actually have met them. I can't help but feeling a little bit spooked at the thought.I’ve given this a lot of thought especially since the hord of NOS Herders lately. The only logical explanation is time travel.

Mission accomplished. Please read my motto below. That E.A. Berg is an early version most likely made around 1900.Sunday morning shave: Erik Anton Berg. (Arne is an enabler, getting me interested in these little Swedish razors).
Your razors never cease to amaze me.
Beautiful.Another beautiful razor Antoine!!!Magnificent!

Thanks for asking- currently it’s a high grit synthetic finisher (for me a 12k shapton) followed by 100+ laps on a Surgical black ark. Going from 8k to the ark doesn’t seem to cut it. Also, I’ve tried natural finishers followed by the ark with excellent results, but the synthetic is just easier, and the results are similar (but not the same) as syntbetic + ark.
Perhaps 1/4 hollow (sorry for terrible pic.)?:
Totally agree and my edge from Naniwa SS 12k/surgical black Ark is hard to beat too!
Thanks GentsGorgeous!
