Description

I do not know much about this razor, because there isn't too much on the internet about it. What I have gathered though is that Karl Benz (Mercedes-Benz)  tried the straight razor business and failed at it. Apparently (from what I have heard) is that only 1000 pieces were made and then that business failed for him. The box is fairly mint, the instructions are a bit tattered (and in german which I cannot read unfortunately) but the blade and handle are mint. I don't believe its ever been used. I am looking for any info on this piece, and an appraisal as well. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
