This is an old design, but one that didn't really catch on. I've seen vintage German versions of this and there were several versions in Japan in the late 50's - early 60's. I shaved with a Japanese one which was similar to shaving with a two sided kamisori. Very smooth shaving and easy to control. The only problem with the Japanese one was that the two pieces clipped on mostly by friction and so the head alignment and blade exposure could easily shift. This version looks like it solved that problem by having a thumb screw and the top cap looks like it has a Gillette New alignment bar.
If you decide to take the plunge, let us know how it shaves.

It is a top one.
Found similar ones to the one I had that couldn't hold the top cap correctly - Japanese kamisori types that didn't catch on:

The Daune is priced right ( https://www.amazon.it/Daune-Rasoio-libera-intera-Plastica/dp/B00CP54BRG ) but 50 bucks for chromed brass is steep...
Found this one a Spanish antique site - they've been around a while...
Looks like a Gayla razor. Made in Japan. I have one that I have not tied yet. Pretty cheap on EBay.Found this one a Spanish antique site - they've been around a while...

Think $50 is steep, look how much the black version sells for on the US Amazon site:

Very informative thread! I did not realize how many options were available with this technology!

Plus $3.99 for shipping. One would think that when you ask over $8,000 for a $50 razor, that they would ship free.

hi Malocchio,
Razorine is 50gr of brass crafted entirely in Italy with a knurl knot, if it seem overpriced to you,please could you suggest anything similar?
you refer to Razorine, 50gr of brass mirror chromed crafted entirely in Italy with a knurl knot brass chromed, if it seem steep to you,please could you suggest anything similar?
Daune is quoted right because of plastic,
Razorine is quoted right because chromed brass is much much more expensive...you are confusing prices and quality, Mercedes have a price, Ferrari is not steep!
Not really a shavette, in my opinion. It's essentially a tech head with the handle on sideways.
Might be a great razor, just not a shavette. A shavette is an open blade device.

So would this be a semi shavette , a sometimes shavette, or a shavette only when you have the guard off?
It functions as a shavette when it has its guard off.
