True, most do not. Krumholz, in his value guide has a pict. of a nice Rodgers & Sons with a very square end and marked on the scales.(page 198)
What I love, is the antique dealers who say they are " sample razors", I guess so the pedler would not have to carry so much weight.

No they are used to trim the tiny kernals of corn from those little ears of corn you get at a ****tail party.

Damn hobbits! They are infesting the St8 razor world now!

Pretty cool I imagine it'd work better for a nose hair trimmer then my regular 4/8 French point I sometimes use. That or as a coochie razor, I wouldn't know as that's not my forte but the small size would probably make it quite maneuverable. Hi_bud, if you win you will have to let us know how she takes an edge and if she can be used as a razor.

almost looks like an old 4/8 was cut down and rescaled simply for novelty

Now I'm curious. Was there ever a razor designed specifically to be used by.. you know.. "little people"?

Ear and nose hair razor or possibly a first generation coochie razor. A buddy of mine who runs a barbershop in the area showed me a turn of the century womens travel razor. It looked like a Gillette old style only much, much smaller. Broken down it fit into about a one inch square metal box that looked like an antique snuff box. It had special blades (very small naturally) but was designed for women to use when shaving their pits back in the day. As small as this thing was, it looked like it would take all day to shave both armpits.
