    Default Curly Ideal Safety Straight Razor - Interesting Old Razor

    I would probably buy this, if I hadn't already spent too much on SR's. I don't know the background on this piece, but it seemed like it would be a nice addition for a vintage SR collector. I don't know how well it works, but I like the concept.

    They actually are very good razors. I use mine occasionally. The guard unlocks and is adjustable as to the blade exposure and it flips over to shave the other side of my face.
    YMMV

    Yes, Richard mentioned his when I restored the one I got. They have one made in England & one made in the USA. Mine is the English version. You can see it here:
