I found another SE that takes standard blades. The VERY SHARP

[amishmotorboat]

I've had this little guy for about 2 years, and never really knew how a blade was supposed to be secured in there. I couldn't get a standard SE to fit, and I just now realized that the handle presses the blade in, similar to a 'College' razor. So, I loosened up the handle, and the SE slid right in.

Here it is with a blade loaded. I don't have any blades left to shave with, so I can't try it out until I make a trip out of town.

Here you can see the handle threads that push that tab up against the blade.

Don't see those very often. Or at all! Very nice.

What does the hinged piece visible in pic #3 do?

That's the piece that sits between the blade and the handle threads. The handle threads push up against it and it pushes up against the blade, securing it in place.

That is a cool SE.

That is a cool design. I like the economical, pretty much bulletproof nature of the design.

Thanks. I think this one was in that 170 razor lot a few years ago. Still finding surprises.

It was made in the USA, and Wait's Compendium implies that it's related to the Clark razor blade company in some way, and those designs do seem similar, and also take standard single edge blades.
