Wild looking razor. What is it?

I was looking at vintage razors on Etsy and stumbled across this wild looking razor. The site said it was an unusual 1920s Gillette old type ball end. I don't think its all Gillette. The plate says perfect patent pending. What is this razor used for?

The base plate is definitely upside down in the first photo. Maybe it was a gimmick to get you to use problem angle? It’s pretty interesting how the comb is a different length on either side. Very neat!
