    The rust isn't too bad, and the twin Barber's Notches make it quite rare.

    That is a custom lip trim razor. Very very rare. If you open your mouth just right it will shave just the 1/2 " above and below your lips at the same time. They are a PINA to hone and I suggest muting the center part unless you have a hairy tongue.

    Well now I'm not convinced that's rust at all - seems more like a stain.

    Ah yes, the old "some rust" pitch. A fine addition to any collection is this rare folding razor shaving knife...

    I wonder if the seller added a picture of the other side of the blade as well? If so, why? Is it Sheffield, Solingen, or Eskilstuna steel? Things to ponder on a fine afternoon where the air is thin and it only takes half as much alcohol to get a buzz with lunch.
