Okay.... Fine, I'll restore mine and hone it up! lolIt’s been suggested that I post these here even though they aren’t really framebacks/rattlers, but they are kind of half a frameback. They’re orihi kamisori, ‘or‘ meaning ‘gutter’ in Japan, so ‘gutter type’ kamisore. The omote side is functionally a frameback, but the ura is not. These are an old design the type that the Buddhists first brought to Japan centuries ago. There’s a hone stowed in the bottom of the box, and a nagura in the top compartment. This set was made in the late ‘3ps or early ‘40s.
I only know of three sets, mine, Jethro (Fikira) had one (now sold) and @Luecke2326 has a set.
The most ‘different’ thing about them is the lack of weight, each one is under 30g. They shave very well, and like many framebacks and rattlers that we see posted here, the steel is very hard.

Ask me about shaving naked!
Thank you Matt, let us know how the honing goes, mine are HARD! I suggest tape to control the bevel width on the omote side and maybe 1 mil Kapton on the ura.
Awesome! Thanks for showing...a real eye-opener to see...truly amazing!

Frame Fri with the John-Bert Rattler
This razor, among the 3 from Ebay is just perfect! The edge is superbly soft and efficient. Stroped on the roo leather, 3 satisfying passes for a bbs finish!

LeCoultre and a Sterling ( lever action blade lock) which is kinda neat. Not sure if it’s often seen. More info on their clean up on the main page. Nothing fussy.

They are more uncommon than the set-screw type for sure. I have a couple of them.
The lever-lock design is nice for travel because if you lose the screw on a screw type when changing the blade - and it’s really tiny - then you are screwed.

A day late and a dollar short, that’s me. Gauthier Pont-St-Esprit rattler, soap and AS were Stirling Green, and the brush a re-knotted Eagle 3. Are those scales wood? Gorgeous.

Screwed! Ha.
Yeah it’s a clever design. Let’s see how they shave. Off I go.

New to me , I confess

Razor Rene Cheron Chatellerault Rattler
This rattler is really lightweight. Stroped on the roo leather, the edge is crisp & smooth enough in 2 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...
