I'd like to give one a try! Looks like it attaches to a GEM. Must be quieter than electric sheers.
ooohh I can only see bad things happening if I did that.
Note that you can't clearly see the top of the man's ear.
Are you implying he no longer has a top to his ear? Now that's a close trim.
It actually looks like some type of Gillette, if you look closely that looks like the teeth of a DE comb facing out the back end.

I belive you are correct, after zooming in on the picture i can see a DE razor. Very interesting
Yep, I see the second edge now. I guess the attachment just gave it such a DE shape I didn't look any closer.
That just can't end well.
He's going to end up looking like Vanilla Ice.

I'd never seen this particular device, but razor hair cutters for home use seem to have been fairly common throughout the 20th century. I'm guessing they made more sense when folks were more frugal, and perhaps for squirmy kids who didn't care for the trip to the barber.
I think they were marketed at least up until the 70s, when longer hair came into fashion, and folks wanting a decent haircut were generally more willing and able to go to a professional rather than resort to the amateur home job. Nowadays, decent electric clippers are very affordable for the home barber, and the only time one might use a razor blade to cut hair is when it's installed in a hair shaper.
