HELP! need info on this razor

[TheHammer]

I recently acquired this Shur Edge SE razor, and can't seem to find any info (prod. date/value/etc) on it. I see it was made by Robeson Cutlery, a well-known name, but I can't find any records of any similar made safety razors. I am starting to think I have the only one in existence. If any of you can enlighten me it would be greatly appreciated!

Yikes! Almost 100 views and still nothing? I'm starting to think this was some kind of prototype or something...or maybe they're super common and you all don't have the heart to tell me otherwise

wow, very nice, I haven't seen one around here yet, thanks for the pics!

Well I know nothing of them nor have I ever seen one.
Interesting indeed.

The real question is... how does it shave??

Edit: Is that the blade..?! Are they proprietary blades?

Wish I could help you. Nice looking though. Congrats. Shave with it and get back to us!

After giving it a good strop, it felt good enough to give it a go. It gives a great, smooth shave. Its a bit on the aggressive side, but in a good way.
As for the blade, I used the one it came with (as pictured), however it does accept other SE blades as well.

Where's Alex when you need him?

Wow...that is one beautiful SE. Congrats on the find!

Nice find! She's a pretty one for sure. Are these pictures post clean?

Yes, but it really didn't need much of a cleaning when i got it. I wiped it down with a chamois and called it a day. It doesnt look like it needs much more of a polish, seeing as its already got a beautiful mirror shine. I did disinfect the blade before using it tho. I know Robeson makes "Shur Edge" straights, but still cant find any evidence of another safety razor.

That is a sweet looking razor. Congrats on finding that beauty.
