    Default Razors that "curve" a blade instead of "bending" it

    Not really sure how to describe it other than with a picture. Has anyone ever tried shaving with a razor that curves a blade like this? If so, share your thoughts. I just won this one on eBay for 99 cents.

    That looks terrifying...and intriguing. I will really have to hear how this shave goes!

    Before you take that thing to your face, consider: I believe that this is an older versoin of a woman's razor especially designed to shave the underarms. The curve fits nicely into the armpit. Don't know if it takes regular DE blades or proprietary ones, though.

    The seller mentioned that it takes regular DE blades. I'll give the thing a whiff and tell you if it's seen any armpits when I get it.

    The eBay seller says there are no markings. I'll give it a look when it comes. I just won it about a half hour ago.

    Isn't that a razor used for shaping the lines (top and bottom) of a mustache?

    jsut give it a look over and see how a blade looks in it, if you still feel it's ok then go for it.
