Gem Zinn Automatic

[Wchnu]

These are lovely razors. One piece I have never solved is the serial numbering - some have and at least this one does not. Not sure what it means as the engraving appears otherwise the same.

D Irving, the creator of The Original Safety may know if he drops by again. This razor I’m posting used to belong to him. It made its way to Appersley in Australia after him, then to me in Canada. The razor at least is a world traveller!

For me a Schick injector does the job. I will try a chopped gem though - good idea.


German Silver/Nickel Silver/Argentan = copper alloy with nickel and zinc typically 60% 20% 20%

A beautiful razor. I still have a favorite JR bar that was his .
