Smallest razor I’ve ever seen

Looks like a variation of the Kewtie ladies underarm safety razor.
For eyebrows?
I suppose you could use them for that, or anywhere else that you have unwanted hair, but it is my understanding that they were primarily used for underarm hair removal.
I have one with blades, but only attracted to shave with it once. A three pass face/neck shave took way too long to want to use it again!
No thanks. I can't imagine any women actually using that tiny thing. Even shaving underarms would be much too time consuming. A regular double edge razor that uses standard sized blades is quick and easy to use. The low volume of sales and the fact that the tiny razor used special blades would also make it much more expensive than anything else commonly sold at the time.

Interesting find! Barbie doll accessory?
Looks like the razor Cary Grant used in "North by Northwest"--only bigger.

This is "miss evans little shaver".
It also has another lipstick tube style packaging.
It has similar dimensions to kewtie and laurel(the mini razor in "North by Northwest"), but evans overall material is better.

Sorry for the bad picture, I was lazy and didn't want to take them out of the display.

I don't know why they thought women wanted small razors. All I can think of is they could carry in their handbag so when they went to powder their nose, they could shave their 5 o'clock mustache shadow. Even Gillette made razors with short handles for women until 1961 when they came out with the Lady Gillette.
I started with contemporary long-handled razors, but my latest acquisition is the vintage Gillette Super Speed Red Tip, and the short handle works fine for me. However, that razor has an excellent weight and balance.

My "miss Evans" lacked the original case, so I built my own set by hand.
Fortunately, I also got some blades.
