Default Snake and triangle trademark - Fascination
I am looking at a razor right now with a snake wrapped around a triangle etched on the blade. It has 'fascination' written on one side of the tang and 'SOLINGEN made in Germany' on the other. The handle has the snake triangle inlay on it with 'trademark' written underneath. I am a sucker for reptile things and this is one. It says 'snake razor' on the blade. Can't copy the picture to post or would do so. Not sure of the provenance of this - I know there was a company called 'fascination' in England but can't find out anything more. Anybody got any info? I am teetering on a sale but would like to know a little more.

cheers
Stephen

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Just arrived this morning. They both pop hairs off my arm but I haven't tried to shave with either one yet.

A nice matched pair of boxed "Famous Es-Ese Razor"s No. 3118, courtesy of Ebay for a very mild $46 including shipping. Gotta love that place sometimes!

Hey there Eric , I've got two of these Es-Ex razors also but not matching. They shave very well. I think you'll be pleased. Only have pics of one atm. I lost the etch thru resto, it was so pitted but the second one is healthier.

Glad to hear that you like yours! Still haven't shaved with mine, but I'll get around to it sooner or later!

That's the trouble with having Bad RAD. Too many razors to choose from.
Let us know your opinion.
I only paid $12.50 for the one above on eBay, however after the first shave, I found it put my favourites to shame & re-defined the word 'Sharp'
