"Shapht" razor- Any info?

Hi All,
I have acquired an unusual razor and am finding it hard to find any info on it. The bakelite base unscrews so the razor head can be housed perfectly inside the handle. Around the base reads "SHAPHT" RAZOR MADE IN ENGLAND (PROTECTED).
Googling "Shapht Razor" has not produced any desirable results hahaha.
Does anyone have any info on this?
Cheers

Wow!! That's crazy looking. Wonder why the handle is so big and what it was designed to contain. Looks like it would be slick and hard to hold.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. It seems there isnt much info around. Its a cool piece.
Btw thanks wagstaff now i have that stuck in my head hahaha
 
Just for you, boldsworth ;-)
Seriously I googled just like you did, and came up with just as much as you did, unsurprisingly. It is among the more retro-looking things ever, at least!
 
At first I would have said a shave stick might go into that handle but looking at the shot of it opened up those channels make me think maybe the head and/or a tuck of blades might fit in there.
 
It's not complicated, man
but no one understands
'cept it's de-sign-errrr....
Shapht!

(Don't encourage me, Randall!)
 
At least we have the advertising jingle sorted out haha.
Yeah the head and blades do fit perfectly. Quite a neat design
