    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

    +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
