Guess what safety razor this is

**Smoothshave** · 07-31-2009, 09:45 AM

In the bathroom I found an old safety razor which my dad or granddad used. I don't know if this safety razor is still made, can someone guess what safety razor this is? It is kinda old and dirty, sorry.

No idea of the maker, but it looks like it's missing the bottom part that goes under the blade.

Definitely missing the bottom plate.
Without that part, it's going to be hard to figure it out, unless Achim/Guido have seen the handle before.

While its definitely missing the 3rd piece and the cap looks a little beat up, I think its *possible* the handle might be interchangeable with a tech. If you have one id at least give it a try.

Can it be considered a safety razor when its missing a safety bar?

Ah just playing around.

Try shaving with it, and let us know how you made out? I'm sure you will get the closest shave you ever had in your life!

Has anyone here successfully shaved without a safety bar?

If the blade doesn't flex too much in the process, I think it could be an interesting experiment.

I may have to try this.

Wow I'm stupid.

Hey, a video of that would be great! Oh, and I know it's only three numbers, but just to be safe, why not put 911 on speed dial?

Yeah, 911 for sure.

I think that might be 'Carver' perhaps???

Well.

Sadly I will never get to the test phase. The DE blade is just too flexible without any support. It's either a 90 degree angle, or severe deformation of the cutting edge

I confess to feeling a mixture of disappointment and relief, Chris. It's probably for the best but I still admire your spirit of adventure for considering doing it.
