Antique SOLINGEN MARX and CO Straight Razor, Barber's notch, hollow ground steel blade, carved order wooden handle, No 966.

Unique and rare antique Solingen Marx & Co straight razor, with sharp steel blade and carved wooden handle. It has a barber's notch point.

Overall the razor is in good condition and opens easily. The steel of the razor is good solid condition. The blade has Marx & Co Solingen and 966 stamped into the metal of the blade handle on one side and M over C in a triangle on the other side. There are words etched in an old fashioned, Germanic font, on one side of the blade. We can't make out the first two words, but the second two say hollow ground. The blade is still very sharp to the ouch with no noted pits or gauges along the blade. There is a tiny pit near the point end of the blade.

The wooden handle is in excellent condition. It still has some good flex to it. The handle has been carved order with a diamond cross hatch pattern on both sides.

This razor measures: 16 cm (6 1/4 inches) long by 2.3 cm (7/8 inch) at its widest, when shut.
The blade section measures: 7.5 cm (3 inches) long by 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) wide
The razor has a good weight to it of 53 grams / 1.87 oz


An Added Note: There are some items we would particularly like to bring back into fashion. This is one of them. It's pure quality, eco friendly, boringly practical and would add something unique to today's world: https://www.pumpjackpiddlewick.com/bring-back/
