I've being umming and ahhing about a 3One6 for a while. That was too good to miss.

I have a few others: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/community/threads/asr-double-edge-razor-weights.57595/


Lifted from Waits.

In 1948, Treet merged with American Safety Razor Corporation. Treet Corporation (Pakistan) formed in 1952 (website ... although Wiki says 1956). The logo used by both the original American company and the Pakistani company is the same. Treet continues as a brand in America, distinct from the Pakistani company - you can find carbon steel single edge blades for GEM type blades under the Treet brand made in American < someone correct me if the "made in" bit is wrong.

Meanwhile, Treet Corporation (Pakistan) are best known amongst us traditional shavers for producing double-edge blades and continue to produce high quality carbon steel blades. Fun that the seller popped one such blade into the case. I put the full pack in.

Same logo.

Does anyone know how both companies come to use the same logo?

This razor was most likely from some time in the 1950s. The same format was sold under all manner of branding under the ASR umbrella - Star, Treet, PAL & Personna. I don't know when some of those brands might have spun off, if at all, but Treet was distinctly American (and part of ASR) for many years after Treet (Pakistan) formed.
