Durham Duplex

A buddy of mine found this while going through his father's stuff. Knowing I am into straights, he gave it to me.
My question, why does it have 2 guards?

I believe those were like the safety razor back in the day. Blades at fit it are still being made, however they are uses in carpet cutting knives and my not be the most comfortable. I don't remember if someone found lab blades to fit.

Thanks Kent, actually the little box pictured, is a box of unsed blades.
