Have you ever seen this plastic travel razor or blade?

[Doug123]

Got this the other day. Anyone ever seen one? It is really hard to get apart once it is together.

The blade was inside. It says 'Carlton Elsmere'. I actually broke it in half trying to get it out of the razor.

I've never seen either one before...

From the pictures, that looks like it should have a telescoping handle.

I'm asking around on bladeforums about the blade.

Thanks, I'll have to look at it again.

No, not yet. Don't know if I will. Maybe.

It's a compilation of most known razors, with pictures and patent information if available.

Hey amishmotorboat, you are right about the handle.

There isn't a value in your Waits Compendium is there?

I kind of messed it up with a pair of scissors trying to pry it apart before I knew the handle pulled out.

I wouldn't think this is worth much, if anything though...
