Weird razors I have found. Post your own strange razor finds.

[HDSledge]

Going through pics of razors I have stored away and spotted a few strange ones. I have shaved with every one, some were dangerous, some were sublime. I'll post one every few days. Post pics of your off the wall or weird shaving implements.

I love it! I've got to find one now, thanks...
I've got to say my Ronson is the oddest and coolest of my bunch.
I need a video to do it justice It has a strop on one side, OC on the other. Just roll it against your palm to strop the blade.
Then with the spring Acton in the handle you can raise the head to spin it 180 degrees, AND with the head raised you can flip the top cap over with the blade. It's marked 1-2-3-4 on the cap so you know what edge your using.
I'm drawn to mechanical genius, or at least what I'm impressed by anyway...
This thing is too cool for school. Best part, I got it for $5!!!

I will start my strange with the Collins. I’ll try and post one per day or so. It will be a few posts. [emoji16]

That thing is crazy cool.

Love the Ronson, with injectors.

That's how it's set up ATM. A buddy sent me a pack of injectors insisting I try it.
I previously put a strip of scotch tape across a standard de blade (to keep the geometry) and snip the ends off with scissors... Much easier than messing with lining up two blades, I'll be going back to it.

I’ve tried DEs as well. My face prefers the thicker injector blades.

Interesting, I'll pay more attention next time I take it out...
I'm looking for a case for mine, for the price, I looked past it lol.

Exactly the place to show off the magnificent Davies Rythmic, made in Scotland 1937. Comes in the coolest bakelite case ever and a fine shaver to boot.

That is interesting. If not too much trouble, I would enjoy seeing a picture of this with a blade installed.

How about the wind up, vibrating Stanly "Live Blade"?...

I found a couple pictures here (not my razor):

And I made this video earlier showing how the adjustability and blade loading works.

Interesting. The blade looks WAY out there and gap appears huge. How does it shave? What does the term "rhythmic" refer to re. action/function of the razor?

 

[Northstonehill]

The blade actually sits with not a lot of gap. The shave is mild all tightened up and the razor “sings” during the strokes. Quite nice shave actually. Also, the razor feels much more sturdy in hand than it appears to be on pics. Only issue is the broad bars which are a bit in the way here and there

 

[ouchyfoot]

100% zamak, but it shaved great.

+++ for this whole thread!

 

[Sinnbad11]

My contribution to this thread is a fairly well known one but still odd. This is the shake sharp V1 for those that don't know it, it's from the mid 1940s. It takes Standard double edge blades but only one side is visible at any given time. It has a hone built in that can be flicked in and out to help maintain a blade edge.

It's not quite as weird as some in this thread but it's still an odd razor. I have the v2 as well which is similar but full metal construction.

One of the Cowan razor models, in case you want to shave with an adjustable slant razor that has mated with a Xenomorph.
