Has anyone seen this before?
Are there more of these Triples made?

Neat never seen one of those, looks like it's had better days though.

Very Cool! I had heard or read about triple edge shavers somewhere, never thought someone would be able to snag one.

I think just dirt on the bakelite.

Interesting. Is the triangle base as long as a common safety bar or is the cutting edge smaller? Also, would it be used as a facial shaver or say for women's shaving?

It is a Maktor, British-made, I believe pre-WWII. It provides for some simple blade gap options because not all the triangle sides are exactly the same.

Here are some pics:

Don't know about the women but here a comparison pic.

Cool Arik, thanks for the (better) pics.
My blade was unreadable

THanks for the info & great pics. Interesting stuff.

someone got an a. mann to whip out?

Fascinating photos and instruction booklet. Were you supposed to flip the blade for the other days of the week?

Very cool.

I hope nobody from Gillette sees this. They have the Mach III, Mach III Turbo, the Fusion, now this will inspire them to create the Warp Drive. "With a triple 6-blade cartridge carousel at each end, 36total blades, nothing shaves you closer, faster."

This looks pretty cool, though. It'd be a beeyayetch trying to get blades, though.

Interesting razor. It reminds me of one of those paint scrapers - I don't think I'd want to use it for shaving.

 

[SavantStrike]

I saw one of these a while ago online, but it wasn't as pretty as the two that have been pictured in this thread.

Those things rule.

Clipping DE blades, then superglueing them in a triangle might be enough to get it useable.

Also, Personna does do custom blades, probably be a bit pricey but I would think worth it just be be able to use it.

Interesting razor. Just when you think there isn't anything "new" left to discover!

I fear you may have stirred the sleeping giant.

Lol interesting, though to me it looks more like a paint scraper than a razor!
