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

Is that thing legal in New York and California?!?......looks like the results of a bad acid trip! VERY groovy though...
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.

Oh! Don't tell my wife, but I need one of those!

I would always suggest the V2 over the V1.

Thanks for sharing, always meant to get my hands on one of those to see how it works...looks like some sort of fibrous material for the strop?
 
The razor hone is actually some sort of metal, I'm not sure if it previously had an abrasive of some sort on it. If it did it doesn't have it any longer.

My exploding razor knows secrets
My unicorn razor "IDEAL SHAVER". Some razors with a similar structure can be found on the Internet, but I haven't seen the exact same appearance. It's even hard to find background information about this razor.

The original owner claimed that the handle was celluloid. To avoid acid corrosion, I replaced it with "leather micarta" to improve the visual effect.
It can be folded like an elliot folder to suit travel use; and there are no screws at all, so I don't have to be afraid of it falling on a hard floor.

Slide the cap to install the blade, simple and fast.

I also replaced the original black case with a self-made leather micarta version, which imitated the vintage bakelite style.

Blade storage space, buried magnets.

The appearance contrasts with the original case.

The original thin yellow handle, you can see some deformation and cracks, which makes people worry about its durability.

I remember when you posted your handiwork on the case and handle. Was it last year? Very nice work and very unusual razor.
