Thread: DePew's on the bay

looks like the birdwing razor.

I have gotten one in the mail today for a restore and I had forgotten how tiny that blade is.

Blade Wielder said it corectly, a pinky finger

Mine looks like ben.mid's. They're an attractive if somewhat unusual design.

The problem with the De Pews is the shank is so short that it creates an awkward angle against your face when you shave, so you wind up shaving with just the tip of the razor, even on your cheek. If the shank were long enough that the tip were a normal distance from the pivot then all would be well and you could use the entire length of the short blade. That's why the Feather AC doesn't have this problem, even though it's got a similarly short blade.
