Remember this? I asked over in my favourite shave forum, and the knowledgeable fellows over there agree it’s a trimmer shavette.
Still looks neat though.

Open comb straight razor
Stumbled across an oddity on the web today – an open comb straight razor, or possible shavette.
I guess the idea was to make a safer straight, but I don’t know enough about straights to say if it’s a good idea, a bad idea, or a pointless idea. Or it may be for trimming hair… but neither possibility explains the odd comb on the back of the blade.

Paper cut disposable razors
An origami razor made from waterproof paper? A pretty neat concept, and since it should be easy to bring in the carry-on luggage it should be ideal for traveling by plane.
As mentioned it’s just a concept at this point in time, but it seems like it has potential – not a potential for a BBS, but for a truly disposable razor.
