Guess the razor....

[pjgh]

Star?

Not the Star Convex.............................I'm intirqued and look forward to it's reveal

It's not a Star. Not Kampfe. Not Yankee.

Perhaps above, I should have put "... nor (oddly) a GEM-style blade".

Zzzz?

I don't know what it's called, but you push the back of the top down and it opens just enough to put the blade in.

It does indeed!

Loaded with an injector blade.

So, we know it's a "one of the companies that became ASR" ... it's not a Kampfe, Star or Yankee and it (oddly) doesn't take a GEM-style blade.

Zizz!

I think I've heard it referred to as a Zinn Gem Automatic ?

PS - I figured you're Zizz were hints too but couldn't recall the name besides Zinn

Ding! Ding! We have a winner! You, Dave ... win a massive bag o' nowt other than the respect of your peers. Priceless.

Yeah, Zinn Gem Automatic.

Oddly, it's doesn't take a GEM ... oddly, because it is a Gem.

I've played similar games on forums, which we usually give the winner 24 hours to post a fresh challenge or it goes open to anyone. If @ATG (who started this thread) is in favour of that stipulation, let's carry on.

I'm game if he is but not sure I have anything of the same caliber as yours. GREAT razor, I've always wanted a Zinn but they always get bid up stratospherically!

Playing on with another non-wedge and non-Gem blade (Propietary blade) When I 1st got it I called it TRWNN - The Razor With No Name but have since found it's identity and I know it's legitimate name

 

[TobyC]

Wouldn't it be nice?!!!

 

[pjgh]

Here's the kicker ... my Zinn Gem came in a box of miscellaneous scrap. In there was also a WIlkinson Sword Patent Roller Safety Shaver. The kicker for me is that was my one magical score. I have to pay handsomely for everything else now.

Right! On with this new razor ...

No issues at all, quite the contrary. No doubt it will enhance razor knowledge

Sounds like a fun game. Here's my entry.
And now for the hint:

This razor and El Cid have something in common. Find it, and you will know my name.

Just going by what was posted

Well, if that wasn't a pain to figure out. Looked like a Dandy, but they never made one that had a handle like that. It's a Traut & Hine razor, predecessor to the Dandy, yes?

Nope, the mechanism is totally different from a Dandy. Manufacturer Unidentified but not a Traut & Hine..........Hint - Circa 1911 and I learned the name after finding it in Waits Compendium. Heading to bed but I'll check on your work in the morning

Edit - I read wrong and do have the manufacturer now.
