Mini-Razors...

[A_Jameson]

Let's talk about mini-razors. These came in a lot I won a while back and I'm just now starting to research these. Anyone know much of anything about these? When they were made? There is precious little information on them online.

That is all of the information on the razors. Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't know anything about these in particular, but the "mini"s were generally designed for women to shave their underarms*, not as travel razors, per se, as might be suspected initially.


* somewhere around here there are pics of a round (sorta open flower shaped) razor for this purpose also.

edit: iirc, they all took proprietary blades which are also no longer made. Though, I suppose it would be possible to take an old one and rehone it if someone wanted to give it a go.

The razor in the left of your picture is a "corn" razor made for paring down callouses on the feet, a lot of companies made these.
The mini ladies razor were also for shaving the bikini region as well as under arms.

That doesn't gross me out so much.

Thank you for the information Cooncat!

That sound like a Barbicide case.
