    Looks like a nice Solingen razor. Just clean her up a little and have it honed.Should be a very good shaver.Looks to be in very good shape.

    Thanks I was pleased with the find especially considering it cost less than a fiver. It didn't have a box so I used a toothbrush tube for it. I guess since no makers mark they didn't want alot.

    It is still Solingen Steel and deserves respect!

    I also thought the color was unusual... In person it is more of a watermelon slice color (good description thanks).. It has pink but red also so its really neither and both.....

    Nothing wrong with a pink razor. I have one too, a Russian Straight Razor.

    Most of these "No Name" Solingen razors were probably mass-produced by the larger companies.. They are overwhelmingly great shavers once honed in.
    The only thing I have ever noted is that when they are NOS they are not "Shave Ready" as you find on many NOS Brand Names so they take a bit more bevel work to bring them inline...

    Wasn’t silver steel strictly Sheffield? There was a time when German razor makers imported Sheffield silver steel blanks and ground the razors in Germany as they had a patent on double grinding technology and Sheffield had the patent on silver steel. This was the case with “Hamburg Ring” razors. Just curious

    Last time I wore that was as part of my tux for being my friend's Pest Man at his wedding. Quite a while back.

    It isn't a double grind, it is much newer than 1910, It very well could be Sheffield Steel, that razor is probably post WW2 from the design..

    ps: Sheffield was often considered a selling point, so usually it was stamped as such
