This is a very presentable vintage razor, made by Carl Friedrich Ern Company in Solingen, Germany.  It has some light marks on the blade, but is in overall extremely good condition with a very high polish indeed.  There are no splits, cracks, nibbles or dings to the edge of the blade!

It is a carbon steel blade, a bit less than full hollow ground with a round point.  The cutting part of the blade measures about 2.75  inches long, the overall blade length is about 5.5 inches and the width is a full 9/16th inches.  The edge has been highly polished and is very sharp indeed - it passes the so-called Hanging Hair Test easily and is shave-ready.

The scales are synthetic - made from a substance like celluloid and in extremely good condition.  The pinning is completely original.

 

The pinning is nice and firm and the blade stays where it is left and does not flop around. 


The blade sits nice and centrally between the scales without fouling them.

 

This razor comes with its box shown in the photo - it is in exceptionally good condition.
