I have the following razor. I suspect it may be an imitation but I'm not sure. There are zero marking, stamps, or etchings anywhere on the blade or tang. The scales are super tight and judging by the wear at the hinge may have been on for quite some time. They feel super cheap but are adequately sturdy. Is this blade worth cleaning up to shave with?
I know that бритва means "shaver". Other than that, I don't have a clue. But, maybe @crackstar has some clues.
утро (or ympo when handwritten) means morning and it looks like the brand or model. It was made in Soviet Russia (РСФСP). And it cost 2 rubles, 50 kopecs. PCT РСФСP 44-70, I'm still a little fuzzy on this but I think PCT is Republic Standard which relates back to the 5-year plan and I think the 70 is the year the standard was approved. So your razor was probably made sometime after 1970? I could be a little off on that whole part though. I've heard the quality of the steel isn't bad in these but never tried one.
I looked a little deeper because I wasn't sure about PCT, and @feeltheburn is correct, PCT refers to the 5 year plan. I found this posting on a russian gun forum and ran it through a translator: Incidentally boxes on Soviet razors wrote norms on which products are produced.I have a little box on the razor East PCT RSFSR 44-70Ieand must seek the PCT 44-7070 is the year of the entry rules in place and it means exactly what it released later.Also with razors zabugornyh.There is usually a year the year of establishment of the company and not the issue.After all, if the clock is put in 1853 (now looked at) That does not mean that the clock of the year of release The original post is located here.
Thanks Mark. One thing I'm definitely not sure of is the "OE" mark (if OE is what it is). Maybe a factory emblem or something like that but no idea what factory it might be.
I take that back (a little). Found this site - http://strazors.com/ which shows the mark and apparently it's associated with STIZ. There's a link about halfway down the page with a pic of the mark and the page on STIZ shows some other razors they made http://strazors.com/index.php?id=89&doc=stiz_stiz_ussr_
