I just had this NOS Wüsthof razor land last night. 7/8 Extra Hollow Square Point.

Barbershop scents are my favorite genre (as faux and ill defined genre as it is), so when I laid eyes on this I knew it belonged in the collection.

I know Wüsthof is an old Cutlery company, and I’m having trouble dating this. I believe it’s pre WWII, as it was still made in Solingen. Post WWII, Wüsthof moved production to both Canada and the US. I’ve reached out to Wüsthof to see if they could help me narrow down a date.

Update: I’ve already recipe a reply from Wüsthof. Their reply simply says they do not know, nor do they keep anyone on staff knowledgeable of their history. To the deepest depths of the internet I go.

Update II: Narrowed down a date, with some help, to between 1925 and 1932
