Have seen these before, the disposable multi blades slide on from the side I am sure
Of course it's a razor Ed... maybe you should spend some time reading the threads at SRP lolQuote:

I think there was a blank space in the corner of the refill plastic you were supposed to use for "safe" removal but, it was just quicker to slide it off with your fingers and a razor that was poorly rinsed/put away was dry and gummy thebnext time round so set up for mishaps... My earlier lessons in Gear Maintenance!! ;-)
I've seen these in antique shops from time to time.

Thanks Ed, While I seldom travel I was wondering if something like that would be a little more 'Classy' than the modern off the shelf junk.Quote:

You'd do better with an old Gillette and Astra Platinum blades for travel.
Thanks Richard,
I have two DE's here at the Boars Nest that are available for travel, just always looking for something 'different' so to speak.
I doubt that King Gillette would have thought about this and neither did the company once it was established. But wouldn't it be very informative and educational if they had kept an example of every model of razor ever offered and were on display for the world to see :shrug:
Na… some weird proctological device from the 80’s… I think.
Wash your hands…
Since the Universe revealed a bearded gentleman that hones for a hobby and doesn't shave I would think that there is a as yet unknown hairless wonder out there that has exactly what you are commenting on.
Will the non-hirsute gentleman please step forward and reward us with a glimpse of a section of recorded history, shaving section. Many pics more than appreciated.
