Really a razor?

She says it is.

If it isn't, what could it be?

Vintage Straight Razor - eBay (item 120642371555 end time Nov-09-10 13:17:56 PST)

That would be a corn razor! For shaving off corns and callouses.
Or maybe a butter knife????:)

Looks more like a butter knife to me. The handle is not one you would see on a razor and the heel end isn't razor like either.

Butterknife or some sort of spatula.

Sounds about right.

Thanks, all.

I vote for letter opener.

It is NOT a butter knife , nor a spatula . My great aunt had one that was part of her dressing table set . I think it was used as a type of manicure/pedicure tool , and it was way too dull to be any kind of razor .

It looks like a spatula or scraper of some sort.

Yup letter opener

That actually reminds me of a vintage cuticle knife. They come in all different shapes and sizes.

It does have some kind of striking resemblance to a butter knife but when I look at the size compared to the Bic pen cap all I can think about is cuticle knife.

I agree with Sharptonn, it looks like a corn razor - part of a pedicure set.

Probably not something you want to run all over your face...
