Vintage Straight Razor J.A. Henckels Solingen Germany

RARE VINTAGE STRAIGHT RAZOR: Shumate Razor in a J.A.HENCKELS, TWIN WORKS box (the box shows some fading of the gold letters due to age). This razor was my great grandfather's who was stationed in Germany; not sure why he had this razor in the J.A. box. The razor is in excellent condition>. This razor predates the company's demise as "Shumate Razor Co." existed only until 1920 making this razor 97-117 years of age. Some light tarnish due to age but still retains much of the high polish (see pics)! ** This straight razor is extremely sharp and ready for that close shave! ** "The primary purpose of a straight razor is to provide a close and smooth shave, and for many, it offers a more traditional and sustainable shaving experience compared to disposable or cartridge razors. With practice, a straight razor can deliver a SUPERIOR SHAVE, REDUCING THE RISK OF RAZOR BURN AND INGROWN HAIRS." Mfg photo(s), if also shown, are for fit and/or style.
