James.
really...whats the point? he can keep it...theres a collector out there though that will see it and be like "I can't believe no one has snapped this puppy up when it's such a great price!"
how in the hell would you use it? I can see one being in the scales, but what about when you are storing it? Can both be placed in it at the same time ?
..Beats me.
It looks like both can be simultaneously enclosed in the scales from one of the photos. Maybe there's a third scale in the middle :shrug: But yeah, using it could be a little tricky. If nothing else, with the scales up in the shaving position, and holding one of the blades, the balance must be attrocious.Quote:

not only off balanced but no tail for the ring finger... i hope it was just meant for display.
as for the price... i think it will be back around with a more reasonable opening bid in a few days.
Clearly a razor that does right and left side of face in one go. Also doesn't discriminate between lefties and righties. Ideal razor! :ziplip:
haha very nice.Quote:

I believe it *is* possible to contruct a "swiss army" straight! It will take guts and determination (and clever use of counterbalance and some nifty scales), but I'm sure it's possible! I'm off to see Papabull....

They used to use those back in the day to shave the hairs off of armadillo's backs.
:w
the owner could always use it to show up his fellow straight razor users...(insert bad Crocodile Dundee imitation )"that's not a razor, THIS is a razor"
It appears that they are called "Butterfly Razors".
one lives and learns.... there are some nice razors on the site... might have to rethink the ebay offeringQuote:

You're all wrong again. This is the ancient and much-feared Whitechapel remote decapitation device, thought to have been a favourite of a fledgling Jack the Ripper until he cut his thumb off with it after missing a cast and discovering to his chagrin that, having scales made of Australian kangaroo shin for extra strength, the thing behaved like a boomerang and returned at just under Mach 1 to its owner. Skilled London thugs could 'top' an unsuspecting mark at two hundred paces on non-foggy nights and be off before the claret stopped a-flowin', cackling evilly and hooting words such as 'Lor' that'll show the bleeder!' (the original source of this well-known London expletive).
I really must stop doing this......:roflmao
