Hi Chaps,

Is anyone able to indentify this razor and give me some idea of the the value, a friend picked it up at a boot fair and asked me, but I have no idea what it is/worth. It has a logo which appears to be 2 matchstick men, doing an Egyptian pose!

Thanks

They quite possibly didn't make them...

:icon_rolleyes: Okay. I didn't know there were any Henckels badged DE razors. Rebranded Merkur or Hoffritz?

After looking a little more closely at the pic he sent me, it appears to be a single edge razor

It certainly looks like a DE in that pic.
 
 
 
Hi

yeah Henckels did make DE Razors, (well i say made, the head on mine is very similar to the vintage Merkurs, they perhaps had them made and just had the name on them...) i have a mint DE one myself, will provide some pics tomorrow, the handle is very similar to a Gillette Single Ring, and like i said the head is similar to a Merkur.

Here is some info from my new waits Compendium....

Hiya,

A little off the topic maybe, but Dovo also made DE razors. Yep, there was a Chicago cutlery company named D. Corrado that sold those under their own name. I actually have one of those.....it's a slant that looks very similar to the Hoffritz.

The two matchstick men are the Henckels twins (Zwilling in German, their brand is called Zwilling). Zwilling/Henckels are a semi-famous Solingen brand for better than average knives, primarily kitchen knives. Dunno about their razors, if any, though
