Razor handles have grown in diameter and in length and I should include weight since the (?) rolled off the assembly line.
In earlier manufacturing times riveting was common practice so I assume the blade posts on the (?) are riveted. With the excellent condition of the (?) razor the distinctive circular marks where the riveted blades posts secure through the cap are absent. By comparison, the (?) razor makes a WR1 look like a sledge hammer there was never any excess metal in the cap and plate to start with because each piece has been formed from a thin pieces of tapered metal plate. For a change of pace for this week I’m going to give my, I suppose it’s veteran, maybe vintage (?) razor a whirl.Įvery time I use a Wolfman razor, especially the WR1, I marvel at how all excess material has been removed from the head. I doubt if this (?) razor has ever done too much work because of the shine on the cap, its good overall condition but the handle does appear to have tarnished over time however there are no cracks. There is a very good reason I like to see manufacturers put their name on their products, 50 years after production very few people will be able to identify the razor.
Now that I have the razor, I can see why there was no brand mentioned in the advertisement, there are no markings on the razor and if there ever were any markings on the little old case they too have vanished over time. After doing the deal I read the advertisement again and they were referring to the velvet lining in the case and there was no mention of the razor brand. When I saw this razor advertised with the word Velvet in the wording I jumped in and bought it.
It may come as a bit of a surprise to some but I have assembled a few examples of razors from the vintage English brand - Velvet.
