Went to an antique store today, one old straight, broken badly though, couldn't see a brand, and one GEM. And then this monster, it was a very thin, maybe 2/8 to 3/8 curved as you can see, all metal, folds out like a straight. Is this some weird straight or is it some other kind of blade?

I've never seen anything like it.
I can't imagine how it could be used to shave one's beard ... it may have some other shaving purpose, though, like for women's legs or underarms.
Then again, it may have some other application entirely, like in a medical/surgical arena. The antique store just put it in with the other razors because it looks kinda-sorta like a straight.

I believe that's a surgical razor...
A surgical razor built with a pivot to hold all sorts of nasties?

Something surgical might fit, it's all stainless. The blade is very "wedgy" for lack of a better word, not hollow ground at all. That shape would make it aweful hard to shave with. 
hazarding a guess as a Wedge type razor with severe frown and honewear
Though I suppose it could be a weird surgical type razor, though what it would be used for, I have no idea
