What’s this Merkur?

Hello, this is my first time posting, but have been a long time reader! I joined here a while ago, because of all the great information. I have learned a whole lot, and gained a whole lot as well haha. I found this Merkur I had purchased at the beginning of my shaving journey. It had been advertised as a 34c. When I received it, I told the seller it wasn’t what was advertised, and was quickly refunded, and was told to keep this razor. I never used it, because it just seemed like the blade exposure was too much, and the concaved shaped made the razor look extra aggressive. Fast forward to today, I found it again, thought of using it, but I’m still undecided. I tried searching for some information about it, but still can’t find what model of a Merkur this is. Any of you out there know? The was it’s shaped, makes me think it’s not for the face, maybe it’s for the legs? Is it even a Merkur? It’s still seems way too aggressive for me, so it sits, smiling.

I think it is a Merkur 23c or 25c. The safety bar is pushed in on each side, you should not use it. Top cap and handle look okay.
 
Could turn it into a devette maybe, if you want to remove the safety bars completely. I agree though that I wouldn't likely use it in that condition.

It looks like it might have been run over by the UPS truck! It's worthless for shaving with. The handle looks like it's from a Merkur 23c. If the handle is straight, you could use it with another razor head.
 
Thank you so much. I hadn’t thought of the possibility that it was damaged, but now that you guys mention it, I can see it. I thought it was designed this way! I’m glad I didn’t use it! I can definitely see that the bars are not evenly bent. This whole time I thought it was a frankenrazor. Thank you guys for saving my face!
