A comb to hold the hair up some for cutting ?
Perhaps its function is to add ringlets/curls to particularly long beards? :shrug:
it almost looks like the piece comes apart by the toe area ( i guess ud call it that on this thing ..lol) and being a round rod i thought something would slide on there ..lol...
see they were crimping hair before it got popular in the 80's ..lol
Can't remember the name of the razor but... there should be a bade there
I think i seen an old thread with one of these in it and it had a blade in it. The wavy metal thing is a guard the flipped up. I'll have to try and find the thread.
+1 It's basically a closed comb straight razor. If memory serves, they were marketed as safety razors at the time.
That is a Curley safety razor. It is suppose to have a blade that is able to be resharpen like a regular straight.
Here is an intact one

thanks guys ... learn something new everyday ...lol
Dang it... I had bid on something just like this with a thinning blade if I remember right. DD of course and brand new looking. I let it go for 12 bucks. 32 shipping LOL :gaah:
So I'm guessing the closed comb is stationary and you would shave with the business end of the blade against your face, right? The closed comb is designed to passively avoid extreme blade angles thus minimizing cuts, right? That's a really neat looking razor too. It might be worth a go just to mess with it. Anyone ever shave with one of these?
Cheaper now then when it was made. If I wasn't so full of collectables right now I might go for it.
no comment on adding one to the collection ...lol
so like an early disposable? I understand the blade could be sharpened, but if it is removable...
edit: guess so, the other one says it comes with extra blades. cool. Are the prices going to sky rocket now?
what other one ???Quote:
