    I have been looking around. It appears to be a Brazilian Monotech from 1980 I would assume.

    Sweet. Might have to try it out on my 4 days growth tonight. I hope it is not too mild a shave.

    The Clauss Automatic Safety Razor arrived yesterday. 20220128_130839.jpg
    After being soaked in hot water with salt, baking soda, and aluminum foil a couple of times & followed by a Flitz
    polish...nice & shiney again.

    First time seeing the Clauss Automatic razor, looks like it is well thought out for that era. It is amazing the mechanical thought goes into a nice razor. A 3 piece razor would be simpler but innovators are always trying to appeal to the public who would be potential buyers. @Dave in KY has one and he says they can be aggressive. They where selling them in 1909 still according from a B&B fellow who did some research. Clauss should of called it 2X TPT or TPTTPT razor(Twist, Push, Twist to install blade, Twist, Pull, Twist to lock) interesting razor and did a little searching when I see something strikes my interest.

    Aristocrat case came in with a broken single ring. But the case is damn nice.
