An interesting razor I stumbled over online; the design of the head seems to be an attempt to combine the stiffness of the safety bar with a sort of open comb – looks to me like you could get copious quantities of lather sliding under the blade between the three raised segments.
Also seems to me like a workable suggestion for a 3D-printed razor-head – less fiddly bits to break.
