I don’t dig on old blades, so I’ll try it either with an injector…
…or an AC.

Injector looks good. Is there any explanation for why the inventor thought 3 cutting edges was better than 2 or 1?
Not that I’ve found!
It must be an early prototype of a detailing razor

Here is one I found a while back. Bigelow-Parkin Travel Razor. Very weird. Shaves very well but getting a good grip on it is tricky since you can only hold it between a couple of fingers.
Here’s my oddity. The King Oscillating Razor. The round thing on top rolls against the face causing the blade to oscillate back and forth. It uses a proprietary blade—but there are still some in the box so I used it (fearfully—because why would you want a blade going back and forth?). Anyway, the shave was terrible—but I still laugh thinking about that frightful shave and my fear of slicing up my face. And yes, there are still some blades in the case if I ever want to try it again.
How much pressure does it take to make the oscillator roll?
Honestly that thing is kind of terrifying.
A lot more pressure than I expected. The problem is soap or cream is intended to reduce friction, so the razor and soap have conflicting priorities.
Yep definitely terrifying. Lots of pressure, and an oscillating blade? That's a recipe for disaster imo.
another triangular razor is the maktor.
cornrazor. Loads of them around.
Looks sick, how much and where from?

I think it cost me less than 20 bucks on the usual shaving auction site.
Used this Bedford on OCtober yesterday.

I might be slightly breaking the spirit of the thread by posting one I don't own, but dang if I don't feel as though the wolfman spider protos deserve some mention - if not just to attempt a 'beetlejuice' & have someone who won one this weekend post more angles when it arrives.
Also- I would watch a shave with the collins or that triplex in a heartbeat in entirety & be entertained the whole way (or at least properly tense) hah, hard to imagine the crazy technique you'd use with a circular blade. (might be able to get some kind of well-handled single-blade pass to clear all your lather, then do the reverse mirrored - though I don't expect it to be the most comfortable shave it would be damn impressive)

Piccolo folding travel razor. I wonder if there is any connection to the contemporary Piccolo company. Mavens?
